A couple of weekends ago, we got to go with Kevan's family to a cabin on a lake about an hour outside of Knoxville, TN. It was beautiful and relaxing and fun and wonderful.

One of the reasons for going was so that Kevan and his brother Tanner could go to a UT game on Saturday (not THE UT, but the University of Tennessee whose orange isn't as pretty as THE UT). Kevan's dad, Steve, was given two tickets, and he was so nice to stay back at the cabin and let his sons go!
Meanwhile, while the boys were at the game, Steve decided to go down and check out the marina. He stopped at this little market on the way, and while he was there, it was robbed! There ended up being 4 people involved, but there were 2 in the store, one of whom had a shotgun. He had Steve hold the pillowcase that the clerk was stuffing the money into. It was completely scary, but we were all so glad that Steve was okay!! We ended up finding out before we left that they had caught 3 of the 4 people involved, and that they would most likely be facing 25 years in prison because a weapon was involved. Kevan's mom, Janice, documented the scene of the crime.
Merit spent 4 solid days walking or running. I loved watching her pace the floors of the cabin, run up and down the porch, and explore the front yard--all things she doesn't really get to do in our little apartment.
She also loved hanging with Grammie, Popsy, and Uncle Tanner!

Thank you so much to the Albrights for making this trip happen! It was a great one indeed.
(You know, minus the whole robbery thing.)

I laughed out loud when I got to the last picture! Merit was a good sport. The little sweetie pie. Thank you for going with us. We just enjoyed being with all of you so much! Love you! Grammie
I can't believe he was involved in a robbery..that is so so scary.
Merit looks cuter than ever in those little boots.
What a beautiful place! Glad you got away.
That is so crazy that the store got robbed. How scary! I can't believe how big Merit is getting. She is such a cutie!
Maybe the robbers needed the pillowcase of cash to get into the UT game? Things are getting tight these days. Just a thought.
But seriously folks, LOVE the pictures of the cabin. The picture of the lake could be a postcard. Oh, the South. Dixie. Isn't it grand!
...honestly glad no one was hurt in the robbery. Terrifying.
That little girl in those boots makes me swoon. SO. CUTE.
