Easy Livin'

As the name of this blog implies, the Jenkins' family has indeed been on some jaunts the past couple of weeks. Actually, we've only be in one location, but it's been two weeks of easy living on the Tennessee River!

We loaded up the car on Wednesday, July 2nd and made our way north to our summer home - our boat. On the 4th we welcomed some Georgia friends and their families to join us on the banks of the Tennessee River. A home was prepared for the adults, and a tent was pitched for the children. I think we all agreed it was an awesome set-up, and the children loved their own "home." The weekend was complete with good food, fireworks, swimming, food, croquet, scrabble, food, tubing, swimming, food, kayaking, sailing, food, some sleep, a wooden top/pin game, laughs, conversation,food, reading, laying in a hammock, more food and a little more sleep. Best of all was the fellowship shared between us friends.

After the departure of our weekend guests, we continued our lazy days with Dad and Cyndi along with our neighbors at their home on the lake. We shared impromptu meals and laughter, tubing, a concert on the river and birthdays. In two weeks' time, we have celebrated the birthdays of 4 individuals. And as long as there is cake involved, bring it on!

Below you'll find some photo and video highlights of our adventures. They simply reflect our lazy days on the river and the wish to be there again, which should be around the 29th!
