when they were little, i had all kinds of golf pictures from summer golf. this year, i do not! when they no longer need a caddie it makes it harder to get pictures. these guys get a medal here and there (reed actually won one tournament this summer), but i think they enjoy the lunch afterwards most of all!!
there must be something about southerns. as soon as the atmosphere hears that all the tennis players in the south are congregating in one place, it unleashes the rain. this year it rained off and on for forever and ever in little rock! we managed to have fun while we were there, and everybody got in the win column. plus, william played the governor of arkansas' grandson so we got to have bodyguards at a match for the first time ever. exciting stuff!!
we spent the very first week of summer in the smoky mountains! we had the perfect little cabin (with a hot tub) away from everything but still close enough to the park. we hiked and hiked, and we had a scary run-in with a bear when he jumped off of the wall right in front of us. it makes for a good story now....not so much at the moment! we spent one night in pigeon forge at a show. the show was good, but we realized that pigeon forge/gatlinburg is a lot like vegas.....no thank you!! we spent one rainy day underground at tuckaleechee caverns. we weren't quite sure what we were getting into, but it was impressive. the highlight was something that we have never done before...zip lining! we all loved it. it certainly won't be the last time we seek out the ziplines! it was a fun start to summer!
