One thing I love about this part of the country are all the little backwoods activities that people sort of throw together in their backyard. Like this little gem! Cooper's Gem Mine is literally in the middle of the Tennessee hills, tucked away on a little county road.. We met our Mom's club friends here one morning to sift for some "gems" and have a picnic lunch together! We bought a bucket of dirt and sifter the smaller rocks out to look for our gems! Kids thought it was the coolest thing and participated the entire time! Both thought it was such a fun activity! After lunch, some of us mom friends decided to meet at a nearby park that had a trail entrance. Little did we know how beautiful the waterfalls and view of a little lake we'd find on this trail. It was beautiful! This was such a spontaneously fun summer day with some great friends! Definitely one to remember!
