Frozen Head State Park, TN

Back around Thanksgiving Trey and I drove up to Crossville, TN where I had a speaking engagement. We swung by Frozen Head State Park along the way and did a little hike to see some waterfalls.

I was still recovering from my knee surgery just 10 days prior but I managed pretty well. Between that slowing me down and some confusion on my part of the time change to CST, we ran a little short on time. We only made it to Debord Falls, the first of the two falls. It was still a lovely walk on a crisp Fall day and the two of us had a good time.

A little factoid about the park’s name. It isn’t that they ever found a frozen head there. It’s simply that the mountain peak in the center tends to show frost in the winter and old timers thought it looked like a frozen head.

Lake Wildwood’s “Christmas on the Lake”

Every year our neighborhood hosts a “Christmas on the Lake” in which hundreds and hundreds of folks from around Macon come to ride boats and see lit homes along the lake shore. Honestly, I’m not quite sure the event is so popular, but the kids do love it.

For a mere $5 you get a chilly 45-minute boat ride. Then there’s cheap hot dogs, hot cocoa, popcorn, and boiled peanuts. Plus free photos with Santa. This year Trey wasn’t as apprehensive about seeing the bearded man.

Backyard Rope Swing

A few months ago we put up a simple rope swing in the backyard for Trey. The seat is a wheel from a broken trash bin. Trey gets a big kick out of me swinging him “100 feet high.”

Virtual Nerf War

Here’s a fun little clip of Trey playing Nerf guns with his friends Ty & Payton Jr Jr in Colorado via Skype. It isn’t quite the same as playing for real, but still fun.

Bedtime Stories with Mommy

Since I’m hanging out with Trey most of the day, Heidi gets the task/honor of putting Trey to bed and reading him his bedtime story. He’s getting better and better at reading on his own and we’ve been putting him to work even at night.
