Visiting Lone Elk Park and hanging with a herd of Elk
Walking on the dock at Lone Elk Park to see a turtle. Suddenly, like a bad Hitchcock film, turtles popped up all around us – no less than 20, including a rare and endangered Alligator Snapping turtle!
We also saw this baby Copperhead, which is one of the most venomous snakes out there. It swam inches from our feet – awesome…
Sloan and Daddy got to go to Sloan’s first Cardinals game with his baseball teammates. He thought it was the coolest. thing. EVAH!
Daddy and Landon hung out and watched the Gaithers on the internet. Yes, Lee’s passing on his love for old Southern Gospel music to his offspring!
Tia’s homedone haircut is finally growing out a bit and is actually looking quite cute.
And finally, we grilled out for Father’s Day. Nothing says celebration like some juicy red meat, right?
A great family is spending a great summer. Many events, a lot of memories and impressions. How blessed you are to have each other. I love your family. I see you miss them… The pictures and comments are very nostalgic. It’s good to be far away for some time to feel this sweet nostalgy.
I can’t believe you actually kept your cool enough to capture a picture of that copperhead!!! I would have ran and cried! lol It looks like you’re having a beautiful summer so far!
