Winter Hike with Friends

December 10, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

Winter Hike with Friends

  Winter has come to East Tenneesee and while it's still considered fall (a minor technicality, really as the Winter Solstice is only a few days away) the temperatures agree with me. At 30 degrees on our favorite mountain, it is winter my friend. The cold is nipping at our noses and we have broken out the scarves, mittens, and winter coats! Imagine the thrill and delight we had when our … [Read more...] about Winter Hike with Friends

Our Edible Plant Hike

August 24, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

Our Edible Plant Hike

  On Friday I took our son, Gabriel, on a hike with a group of other homeschoolers. This hike was led by a Ranger and was going to cover the native edible plants in our area. We arrived at the Chattanooga River Environmental Education Center a bit early so we meandered around the pond until the others arrived. We had to watch our step because the ground was covered in duck poop, but the … [Read more...] about Our Edible Plant Hike

Father’s Day

June 22, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

Father’s Day

  Father's day morning we let Papa sleep in. Normally he is up at 4:30 am preparing for work! So, while he slept and pretty much enjoyed his morning of quiet relaxation, the kids and I headed to Riverside Park. The kids enjoyed the view of the river. My budding photographer was excited to capture ducks in his photographs. Jade was just as excited and yelled, "Ducks! Momma, … [Read more...] about Father’s Day

Our Day at the Park

June 8, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

Our Day at the Park

  We went to a new park this weekend called Holcomb Bridge Park. I have a sneaking suspicion it is named that because it is located off of Holcomb Bridge Road....maybe. It has a cute little playground with a darling trail that takes you to the river. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely! I did as well! Being immersed in nature is always a wonderful experience. I especially loved seeing … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Park

We had lots of play time with friends, including freeze tag, red light green light, and hide-and-go seek! Gabriel even taught one of his friends how to use his sling shot. Both of my children are social butterflies. Our Week in Pictures Gabriel read to our Mama … [Read more...] about Our Week in Pictures
