It was a nice change of pace having our babysitter come on a Saturday morning and watch the kids for the day. We hadn’t been canoeing since we were dating, many years ago, so this brought back very pleasant memories! It was a beautiful summer day on the river. We pulled ashore and enjoyed a picnic lunch while we people watched (there were several other canoes and kayaks). After a few hours of canoeing  we had enough time to squeeze in a tennis lesson for me. Warren is a good coach and I so enjoy playing tennis with him!

I love these faces!

Immediately following the Anderson reunion we headed a bit further south stopping in Charlotte. We were able to see my parents, my sister, and my nieces. We stayed in a hotel (which is always a highlight for the boys thanks to the elevator buttons, pool, and breakfast bar) near my sister’s house.

Once again the Anderson clan gathered together in Pigeon Forge for the annual reunion.  This year, our family along with three other families stayed in a chalet separate from the main gathering place.  It wasn’t as noisy, which was nice, however we did have to worry about being eaten by bears as we walked up and down the wooded hill.

Isaac attempted to make a slingshot out of sticks and rubber-bands, but was left frustrated with the end result. He asked his daddy for a little help and together they created a slingshot just perfect in the eyes of Isaac.

I was able to enjoy the first grade ‘run for fun day’ with Isaac. We had 30 minutes to run as many laps around the track as we could. I let Isaac set the pace and was proud of him for running 2 miles in the humidity of a hot May morning!

This little boy has been in all of Lincoln’s soccer sessions. His name is Noah and Lincoln looks forward to seeing him every week.

With only a few days of school remaining before summer break, Lincoln and I soaked up our one on one time with some fun activities. On this day we joined Kari and the boys for a day filled with fun boy stuff.  And there was a lot for them to see and do here!

Mickey has a good life and he knows it! He rewards us often with mice, moles, and birds to show his love. Aren’t we lucky?

The kids had a blast during our second annual Easter egg hunt. They each collected 25 filled eggs and hunted a large personal surprise egg with their name on it.

Dan and Kari welcomed their third boy into the world a week and a half ago. Little Zachary is a handsome guy and such a sweetie-pie! I’ve been around him for several hours since he’s been born and have yet to hear him cry.

I’m so glad we live close and I’m able to get my baby fix whenever I need it.
