The next morning, we woke up to some serious rain.
Nicole had a great idea, lets go for a hike and start off by walking along the shore!
It didn’t take long to discover the Tennessee Mud! Nice picture Nik!
We came up these mysterious orbs…. later we discovered that they were some sort of artificial fish habitat that also double up as boat propeller dingers.
After our fill of the Tennessee Mud, we headed for higher ground. Notice that Danny and Nicole are sporting the latest in rain protection gear? You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink or in this case you can tell your kids to bring rain gear but they just don’t listen.
Turns out the trail system here holds the water really well and we were able to do some trail hiking.
This stretch in the wet leaves finally wiped the Tennessee Mud off our boots, or in the kid’s case tennis shoes.
Despite the rain, Nicole sports a giant smile!
Finally, later that evening, Danny hits the fish jackpot! I’m convinced that his luck changed the minute he took off the Dallas Cowboys knit hat.
