We couldn't let such beautiful weather pass us by and when our original plans to go river rafting fell through we ended up canoeing to one of the islands on Percy Priest lake. It was a blast!!!
Getting there: a bit tricky when you consider we had Jack and I, three kids, 2 dogs (one is bigger than any 2 of the kids combined), and all of our gear (I packed as light as possible, but my backpacking skills have considerably diminished with the birth of each child) all loaded in a smallish to medium sized canoe. Even with only the bare essentials we still had to tow a dingy. I'm sure we were quite a site paddling across the lake to the islands, and may have looked crazy but the end result was so worth it.

Our little island paradise: We camped on Raccoon Island, which is about the size of two football fields put together. It was just right to let the kids and dogs play with minimal supervision.

It was a full moon and I tried to get a good picture of the moon and the reflection, but this doesn't even come close to how beautiful it was.
On Monday the Gates family came over with some friends (We LOVE the Farmers From Clarksville!!!) and their boat. They brought an AWESOME Picnic and we had a great time taking turns tubing and relaxing on the island...
