Summer in Tennessee

Just wanted to include some photos of our nice breezy summer here in town. It's just barely starting to really heat up. May through July, we had such perfect temperatures of low/mid 80s. We enjoyed many fun filled days with trips to the pool, sprinklers in the backyard, volleyball games with daddy, thunderstorms and more!

Every now and again, strong thunderstorms have blown through. Even a couple tornadoes in the area. It gets pretty intense up here on our little hill:

Our local library had an animal day during the summer for kids. Ivy's absolute favorite part was the SNAKE. She could care less about the bird or other furry creature. But LOVED the snake and spider! I just found that so funny:

Fire pit fun with good friends, down by the river:

Visited with good friends Mindy and Ryan again down in Knoxville. These two just kill me! Gavin is the sweetest little boy and Ivy, apparently, is a big fan as well. They were literally two peas in a pod the whole time:

Backyard fun:

Haymakers:

Tried out the city pool in New Tazewell a few times. They had a new splashpad area that was perfect for Ivy:

Date night in Cumberland Gap:

 

Swings with the big little man:

More backyard fun. I love the water droplets in these photos:

This girl sure has grown in one year! She no longer looks like a baby to me! Sad! lol.. See similar pics that I took of her around this same time last summer- here...
