Smoky Mountains

This past weekend we went to the Smoky Mountains to camp in the forest! It was a blast for both of us! We stayed two nights and had a great time. It was a great first time trip for both of us! It was so beautiful seeing fall for the first time in Tennessee.

We had a great opportunity to hike three miles into the mountains and back on Friday and see some beautiful country. We had a great time waling in the mountains and hanging out together. Next time we go we will hike into the mountains and camp.

This was the end of our big long hike into the mountains. We climbed to the top of two mountains on our trip! Here are some more for you!

Yard of the Weekend!!!

There is a Dogwood!

This weekend we spent it with Russell's Mom and Jim landscaping the house. It was a lot of fun molding and shaping the house into what we wanted it to look like. When we bought the house we opted out of the landscape so that we could later do it ourselves. It was a lot of fun and we made some good purchases. It is a great thing to get connections! Here is what we did! You can go back earlier in the blogs and see the before.
