Back to School Big Canoe Trip

We have had a wonderful, but crazy summer. So, I decided that a little getaway before school starts back was definitely in order. Thanks to our sweet friend, the Willimason's, we were able to enjoy the beauty of Big Canoe again this year. You kids are really starting to LOVE going to Big Canoe. You both told us that you would rather go to Big Canoe than to the beach - wow!! That shows how great this place is and how much fun we have here together!!!
Hiking to the waterfalls is always a highlight of the trip.

My beautiful girl ~ you love being outside and hiking. I love how much you love to try new things and get outside and have FUN!!

McKinney, you are always looking for an adventure. You want to hike the tallest mountain and try to get to the most out of the way rock to stand on. I love you little guy!!

The highlight of this trip was most certainly the rock slide. Big Canoe has created a wonderful slide out of some rocks near the swimming area. The kids loved it!!! They both went down as much as they wanted to and even Micah went down (unfortunately we don't have a picture of you little buddy because Daddy & I both had to go down with you). This was so much fun and although the pictures are a little blurry - we can still see the joy on your faces as you slide into the cool mountain water!



The beach was so much fun. You all loved every part of playing in the sand, swimming in the lake, etc.
Especially you ~ Micah - you still ask everyday, "are we going to the 'yake'"


Relaxing in the cabin after showers and dinner was fun too.
McKinney, you enjoyed a fun adventure with Daddy. You went out on the lake in a canoe. This was so much fun for you.



Sweet :)

Every single part of this trip was GREAT!! I truly cannot wait to go back and create more memories with this precious family that God has blessed me with!!
