Gator Hunting

After many years of applying, Justin finally got drawn for an alligator hunting permit. His first attempt was less than successful. Before the boat even left the bank, he slipped and fell on the treble hook that they were going to use to snag the alligator. This sucker got lodged under his kneecap. After an entire night in the ER, Justin was hook free and ready to recover and hunt again.

His second attempt was much more successful. He got a good sized alligator, with lots of good meat and the hide sent off to the tannery.

First Day of First Grade

Wyatt's first day of first grade snuck up on us so quickly. I have never been an anxious mama when it comes time to let him go for school. I remember so vividly how excited I was to be back in school and I really believe Wyatt is the same way!

Spaghetti Sauce Class

Turner County Young Farmers had a great time with our annual spaghetti sauce class. Things like this make me understand the sense of community women used to have when they were in sewing circles and group efforts. I am glad to have a part in continuing this tradition!

Beach Trip

We love the Ormond Beach/Daytona area and try to go at least every other year with my parents. This year was a bit different because we have our own timeshare now. It was nice to have Mama and Daddy, Sami, Suzi, David, Liam, and Pax nearby for company but it was also so very nice to have our own space to retreat to at night. We packed a ton of fun into this trip including Bass Pro Shop Day Camp classes, a visit to the Crayola Experience Center in Orlando, and my favorite part: a visit to the Tupperware World Headquarters. We ate a ton of amazing food from some of our favorite places and just had a great time at the beach!
