About Me

I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

Fourth of July Weekend - Day 2

We had a blast on day 2!!!

 My turn to make breakfast!!  
 Back and Rainbow Springs for Canoeing, Kayaking and Paddleboarding!
  She was excited to paddleboard!  The last time she did it was in Washington last year, and she was a pro at it!
Rental prices weren't bad at all.  If you aren't out there for the full hour they only charge you in 15 minute increments.  I believe for the time we had them, we paid $40 or so.  They do offer a 10% military discount.
 They didn't have any single kayak's available so the three of us were in a canoe, and Kennedie got a paddleboard.
 She is awesome at paddleboarding!




 Before you could get into the water you had to get out of the headsprings area.  There is a sign in the water that says you are able to get out.  This is a little past that sign where the boys wanted to get out and "treasure hunt".
 The water is pretty deep and we didn't bring the noodles so we made Cale keep his lifejacket on because he would tire out easily from paddling to stay afloat.



 Cale thinks he is going to be a professional you tuber one day.  We got him a cheaper go-pro version from Amazon 2 years ago for his birthday, we just let him have at it in the water.
 Boys hitching a ride with Kennedie back to the canoe.
 Cale wanted to give it a go.
 Then Tim.  We brought the paddleboard and the canoe back to the rental place and the boys stayed and played in the headsprings for a bit.
 Kennedie and me headed to the giftshop that was attached to the pay window.  It had some cute stuff in there.  There is also a little concession stand.  I don't know what food they served but when we passed by, I saw they had ice cream at least.  There is also some vending machines with drinks.


 We left Rainbow Springs, back to the camper changed and decided to go down to the downtown area of Crystal River and explore some of the shops.  The sky started to look a little gloomy so we decided to have a late lunch early dinner and found a BBQ place just within walking distance.  BubbaQue's, we loved the name because we have our own Bubba!  The food was DELICIOUS!!  Tim had nacho's with brisket, and I had a brisket salad.  We decided to get some dessert and got deep fried oreo's and funnel cake fries.
 Kennedie loves all things Oreo, so when she was eating this she said it tasted like Heaven!!
It started to down pour when we were eating.  We tried to wait it out but it didn't seem to let up.  We went back to the camper and hung out the rest of the evening!
