Another day, another hike! Last week on a slightly more chilly day, I took the kids out to Oak Mountain to hike up to King’s Chair. They weren’t quite so sure of the temps when we started…

but we quickly warmed up and enjoyed the adventure.

We went to King’s Chair by way of Eagle’s Nest. It was a pretty aggressive uphill hike but the kids did great!

Climbing up Eagle’s Nest seemed like a good idea until we had to get down!

We made it then were finally on our way to King’s Chair!

When we got to the top we were pretty impressed with the view!

Not a bad place to stop for a snack! We were then going to head back down the mountain and got back on the trail only to see a sign pointing up to King’s Chair! We hadn’t even made it to the top yet! I’m so glad we noticed that because we definitely wanted to sit on the throne! The views up there were even better…

We all took a turn sitting on King’s Chair, but none of us were quite brave enough to dangle our legs off the front!

I think this might have been my favorite hike we’ve done!

I love our adventures!

Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter!!

We’ve made a lot of things over the last few weeks – we even made our own play dough! In our PJs! That’s some quality quarantine fun!

It was really easy and turned out way better than I expected! A hit all around!

Quarantine is a little more fun when you get to make treats, right? So, why not make some s’mores in the oven?! The kids LOVED them!

Quarantine isn’t so bad!!

Day one of school complete! It was…ok. I know it will get easier. There was a big learning curve to get it started and as soon as we get used to all of the different links, sign-ins, and programs, we’ll be able to get through it all a lot faster. I should also add, I’m SO SO SO glad I quit my job in August. I simply do not know how I would be doing all of this if I was still working. We definitely wouldn’t be getting to have as much fun as we’ve been having!

The boys’ summer camp has been posting some fun at home challenges to keep everyone busy during the quarantine. One thing they suggested was to make some camp food! They gave the receipt for Longenecker Lumps which are basically biscuit dough balls covered in cinnamon sugar. Yum! We gave it a try!

Our first batch was a disaster because our oil was way too hot! The balls were burned on the outside and raw on the inside and our plastic spoon was melted! Oops!! We tried a second batch and they came out perfect!

We all learned something new that day! Really really hoping both of these boys get to go to camp this summer!!
