Pinnacle Excursion

Izzy, Kelly, and Micah on the Trail at Pinnacle Mountain

On Thursday afternoon, Steven and I took the sweets to Pinnacle Mtn.  The weather has been AWESOME here so we are trying to get in a ton of outside time before the humidity and, most dreadedly,  the mosquitos come.  All three of the Hovater girls love to be outside but attract those pesky little blood suckers from miles.  I am convinced that we when walk outside there are mosquitos in Memphis that perk up, immediately change course and head west to find that sweet blood of ours!  Annoying to say the least.

The goal was for me to run while Steven played with the girls on the playground.  Well things don’t always happen as we plan them but this, in hindsight, was a MUCH better plan.  We decided to climb part of the mountain and it was fantastic!  If you have ever been around the younger Hovater girls you know that they are CLIMBERS so they were up for the challenge.  Made Momma a little nervous.  Anyway this is a picture that Steven took where all 3 of us are smiling!  Let me just note that this, my friends, is amazing.  We had such a wonderful time just the 4 of us.  I, as of late, have been filling a little sentimental as my babes are reaching their 3rd birthday, so this was an awesome “see Kelly big girls can be just as much fun as little girls” reminder outing for me.  I am so thankful for them and this evening of enjoying God’s greatest gifts to our family.  We are sooo very blessed!
