17 Days and Counting

I hate it....i only have seventeen days left before school starts! YUCK!! i will be teaching fifth grade again and i think that is part of the reason i am really dreading going back. plus, i have to get up early again. that will definitely stink. okay...i'll quit venting and add some pictures from our recent vacation to tennessee. troy worked at a ciy conference with nate karnes and had a great time. i think he really wants to go back down this sunday and work another week, but he doesn't really have the time off from work.




here ya go.

Troy and kids on the stage at CIY TN4.




The kids in front of the sign at the college we stayed at.



This was right after our White Water Rafting trip. We rafted 5 miles down the Hiwassee River in Fun Yaks (2 person raft-like kayaks). It was great! Brandt was scared there would be crocodiles, but Troy told him the piranas were more of a concern than the crocs!! LOL! We had a wonderful time!
More to come later!

I love CIY!!! What a fun time for your family! I've always wanted to take my kids rafting but haven't done it yet. I think you've inspired me though! Maybe I'll give it a go.

Oh... and I love the title of your blog. Rachel's Ramblings. Really cute.
