Waterhawks Ski Show
Free, family fun! How great is that combo? The Waterhawks Ski Show gives you just that! 4th of July weekend, T and I headed to Waterloo to camp again just like we did last year. I made the declaration that we were going to try something new, go somewhere new, etc. Thanks to the help of the Waterloo Convention & Visitor’s Bureau I learned about the Waterhawks Ski Show and I decided that it would satisfy my desire to “take in” something new and hopefully hold T’s interest!
Waterhawks Ski Show
So, Friday night we followed the directions from their website to their lake to see what this was all about. The Waterhawks Ski Show is free to the public to attend. You just drive in, park, and find a place to sit. You’re welcome to sit on their stands or take blankets and lawn chairs. We were there early enough (not knowing what to expect for a crowd) that we were able to back our truck up to the viewing area and set up our chairs in the back to get a perfect view! Then, we walked around and checked out the facilities and grabbed something to drink from their concession stand. While there is no charge to get into the event, make sure to grab a snack from their concession stand to help support them. You can pick from drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic), candy bars, pizza, popsicles, and chips!
Random Monday Thoughts, 7/11/2016
It’s Monday again! Can you believe that? Wow is the summer flying by! Monday seems to come faster each weekend! I hope your summer is going well and you’re finding time to stop, relax, and enjoy the experiences around you!
Campfire Cinnamon Bites
We’re always looking for fun new foods and dishes to make when camping and these Campfire Cinnamon Bites are just that! And the best party? They are super simple and extra tasty!
Recently on a camping trip of just T and I we decided to experiment. We do this a lot. We typically test things out and then introduce them to the boys if they are a success. I can guarantee that we’ll be introducing these to the boys!

Garden Update, 7/5/2016
Two weeks has passed already and I’m ready to update you on the garden! If you haven’t been, you really should follow me over on Facebook and Instagram because I give daily updates on the flowers I find in my garden and the vegetables I’m harvesting! I’m happy you’re here though, so let’s take a look!
The window boxes are slowly filling in and adding some bright color to the front of the house! A couple more more weeks and you won’t see much space between them!
Friday in Franklin County: West Fork Wharf
Remember how I said I love the town I work in? That love affair doesn’t stop with Forever Yours, Healing Hands, Jaspersen’s or Timeless Treasure either! (Are you sensing a theme??) It extends to the West Fork Wharf and owners Bob & Kim Jensen! If you haven’t visited the West Fork Wharf yet, you need to put it on your to do list, but do it immediately! I find myself actually craving the Wharf! My 12yo step-son says randomly, “it’s too bad we can’t go to the Wharf tonight!” He loves the cheese and onion personal pizza he gets! I love the cheese curds, ranch dressing, propeller fries, and the wings, and….
Well, I think you get the point!
Wordless Wednesday: Peace
Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Friday in Franklin County: Got You Covered
If you follow me over at Learning As I Go, you know that I spend a lot of time at baseball, basketball, and football games, etc. This means I need to be extra prepared with my spirit-wear and when I’m in need, I head to Got You Covered in Hampton! John & Deb Currier have an amazing little business in the downtown Hampton and I’m excited to feature it here today!
Setting Up Shop
Clothing and sewing has been in Deb’s blood for a long time. In 4th grade her mother taught her how to sew and she made all of her own clothing as she went through school. Working with thread and fabric has always been natural to her. She began looking for something to supplement their income. However, she wanted to work from home so she could be with their children. She eventually started to research commercial embroidery and found it was a niche that she wanted to pursue.
Wordless Wednesday: Rest
Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
