Kentucky Airport Challenge

Yesterday was the official kickoff for the Kentucky Airport Challenge 2012!!  We started the challenge today and visited 10 airports.  One of our stops was Tompkinsville for some awesome BBQ and their Fly In to start the Kick Off!!  Today we had Fred Miller fly along with us and was great to have an addition.  Last year I won the iPad 2 from the challenge and have thoroughly been enjoying it!  Below is our adventure for the day.  We left at 8:00 and got home just a little after 3:00 pm.  We flew East into the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.  The weather was perfect except for a little head wind on the way home and one big bump that knocked my head on the airplane roof.  We saw many wonderful airports!  Only 28 more to go...???...

Memorial Day Weekend

It's been a little while since I had last posted.  Many things going on...but I will try to get back in the swing of things since it is now summer fun in Kentucky!  This past weekend was Memorial Day and it was extremely hot.  It was nice to have a fairly relaxing weekend at home for once though we did keep busy with the local entertainment.

Sunday started off with a trip to Cave City to eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel.  We had a big tasty breakfast with Grammy and Gran-Granny.  No better way to start the morning.  We then headed off down the street towards Mammoth Cave to stop at Big Mike's Rock Shop, which Karalee had many fond memories from high school.  We even got to go on the Mystery Tour.

                                                 Kennick really enjoyed the uneven floors.

After that we headed off to put-put mini golf.  By the time we got there at 11:00 it was blazin hot.  This was Kennicks first time mini golfing and he did pretty well.  He was a sweety mess by the time we got done though...well...we all were :)

Even had time for a puppet show :)

On Monday the Community Band played for Memorial Day service as they usually do.  Later that afternoon we headed off to Granny's house for supper.  We took along some water toys and the kids had a blast!

This is the way to end any vacation.  No fish but a lot of fun at the Mutter Farm Pond.

Indy Sunday

For a lack of a better term....Karalee and I have a "tradition" that dates back to the first year we were married and living at our other house.  About once or twice a year we will wake up on a random Sunday morning and watch Indiana Jones all day long.  Not sure how it started but I do remember one Sunday morning it was on TV and we ended up watching it...and you just can't stop with one.  We haven't had one in a while and I had not bee feeling good all week and when I heard Karalee coughing this morning I thought today would be a great Indy Sunday.  Karalee got out of bed feeling terrible so by 8:30 we had Raiders of the Lost Ark cued up and rolling.

Yesterday we dropped some cable because we were wanting to rearrange our basement.  One thing led to another and by the time last night rolled around we had moved most of the things we wanted to move.  Quite a project but sure looked good.  

After Raiders of the Lost Ark in went Temple of Doom.  This is the least favorite of all the Indy movies.  At that point we got to talking and decided we were going to repaint the "white room" in our basement.  Between the two houses we had enough paint and colors to pick from and got started.  We got quite a ways done and had some lunch.

Next came the Last Crusade.  Part way through the movie we came upstairs for a few minutes.  Kennick wanted to stay in the basement and play.  After a little we thought it was a little more quite that it should be.  I went downstairs to see what was going on and this is what I found:

The kid that hates naps was passed out at 1:20 pm.  

We got a lot of painting done that couple of hours he was sleeping.  And don't worry...they found the Holy Grail!  

Something new this time around was we had to watch the 4th one.  After supper we put it in and finished painting and the movie by 8:30.  

A very successful Indy Sunday!!
