Davy Crockett State Park

We went on a family outing to Davy Crockett State Park in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee today and had a great time. We went for a relaxing hike in the woods and were fortunate enough to see several deer and turkey. Davy Crockett is a good place to visit if you enjoy the outdoors.

Beach Time

Spending time outdoors takes on a lot of different looks. Most of mine is spent on the rivers and the woods, but this past week we spent time at the beach. Away from the traffic, hotels, and restaurants it is still possible to have some quality outdoor experiences. God's creation is wonderful no matter which part you spend time in.

Enjoying the Outdoors

Getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors can be very relaxing and provides an escape from the hectic pace of many of our lives today. Everyone needs an outlet and enjoying God's creation provides many people with a wonderful escape. One can become closer to his maker while enjoying his wonderful creation. Whether for an afternoon, weekend, or longer, time spent outdoors is time well spent. Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, canoeing, and other outdoor activities are great ways to spend time with family and become closer to each other. While time spent with family may be hard to come by during these hectic times visiting the great outdoors is a great way to spend quality family time.

Fishing

My brother and I went fishing and had a great time. We caught several bass and my brother lost a 5 pounder, but we had a great time. The temperature cooled down in the evening and we saw an awesome sunset.

Camping

My seven year old son and myself went camping this last weekend and although the temperature was in the upper 90's we had a great time. My son caught tons of little bream and actually caught a shad minnow. I have been fishing my entire life and I have never witnessed anyone catch a fish this small on a hook. We also had a visit from a local racoon during the night, but the food was stored in the truck so it was a short and uneventful visit.
