two weekends ago, i got to experience cma fest for the first time! we headed downtown around 1pm and spent the afternoon at the river stage listening to all sorts of artists play... for free. that's the best part about cma fest. all the daytime concerts are free and the only thing you need tickets to are the big name artists that play at LP field each night.

this stage is floating on the river - awesome!

after a torrential downpour, and 10 hours at the honkey tonks, we decided to head home. it was such a fun day!

this past sunday, a whole gang of us headed about 45 minutes down south to duck river.  we packed the coolers in the canoes and set out on our 5 mile journey. IT WAS SO FUN! there were 16 of us in 8 canoes. it took us about 5 hours to make it down due to the fact canoeing wasn't actually the first priority. it was a beautiful day and i couldn't be more thankful to have found a great group of friends here already. i am blessed.
