Vacation to Tennessee

For the past little while we have been in TN enjoying a small break from school. We had a great time hanging out with family. Alyssa was able to see her siblings and of course Grandma and Grandpa were able to see Kayley and Liam.

While in TN we had the opportunity to stay at a really nice, relaxing resort called Oak Haven. We also did some boating, went fishing, and took a trip to Dollywood. I have been to many amusement parks and this is among the best! The rides are great, the scenery is amazing and the location makes for plenty of shade. Alyssa and I had a great time there with her siblings and their spouses and Alyssa's step father Ellis. We took a few pictures while at the park and I also snuck my camera on one of the roller coasters and shot a video. Be sure to check that out! We took some pictures while boating but most of them are on a different camera, so we will upload those later. Thank you Katheryne and Ellis for the great vacation. It was great to see everyone! We love you guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very fun family outing to White Sands New Mexico

On Friday we decided to go to white sands and get a few pictures of the family. Sarah was in town so we took advantage of her photo taking skills.

White sands is a interesting place. While you are driving you do not see any signs of any sand anywhere. Just the normal trees, shrubs, rocks and cactus that southern NM is famous for. Then, all of the sudden off to your left is this sand. Miles and miles of white sand. I don't think I have been to a more interesting place. It was a great experience to visit this lovely place. While we were there, the sun was setting and a lightning storm was taking place in the sky. This just added to the beauty of the scenery. Kayley had a wonderful time playing in the sand! It was difficult getting her back in the car. Its a great place for kids to play. No matter how far they wander off you can still easily see them, and there is nothing to get hurt on!
