We left to go on our White Water Rafting trip today....

We left Nashville around 4:30 pm to go on our white water rafting trip.... We met Lauren in Murfreesboro to pickup Kaitlynn, Tara, Michael, and Cameron by 5:30 pm.... We arrived in Mcminneville, Tn around 6:45 pm.... We all met at Bro. Snowden's church. We got everyone loaded in two vans and a couple of people drove.... We stopped in Chattanooga and ate dinner and then we headed to North Carolina and that is where we stayed for the night..... We arrived in North Carolina around 12:00 am... We all got settled in our rooms and then Bro. Robinson, Bro. Snowden, Charlene, Marlena, and I went to Wal-mart along with a couple of other people......

Tammy invited us to go on LeAnna's last adventure for the summer and her adventure was for Beech Bend! We've never been to Beech Bend before, so we happily accepted... I've wanted to take the kids several times, but just never have... So we just made a family event out of it... Dad B., Mom B., Nathan, Tammy, David, Dawson, Jackson, LeAnna and I went.... We had a very good time and we will defintely go back again! :)
