CMA Fest Here We Come!

Last summer my cousin Brett came up to Tennessee for a visit.  We did everything from cleaning out the chicken coop, daily animal chores, cooling off down by the bridge, weeding the garden and proving to him that we have zero cell phone reception at our house.  It seemed like we spent the first couple of hours trying to locate more than "1 bar".  <--- never going to happen

Two of my favorite things we did while he was here were going to the Country Music Hall of Fame and of course fishing at our pond.  I really loved the Taylor Swift exhibit at the museum - ahhhhhmazing costumes and dresses!  I'll share more photos from the museum later on.

Yes, I know - I am only 5' 6 1/2" and he is very tall :) .... and the 1/2 inch *does* count.

My philosophy is to catch one fish - just one - and then I am done for the day.  Brett didn't see it that way though.  We ended up fishing for over 1.5 hours.  I caught my 1 fish and then went back to the truck and waited for Brett and Lizzy to finish.  I don't take naps, but I seriously almost fell asleep while waiting.  The weather was amazing!  I can't remember how many fish the two of them caught, but I do know that Brett won at catching the most!

If you ever come over to go fishing with me all you have to do is remember one thing - the green worm with the bright yellow tip is MINE.  Please don't touch. :)  The fish LOVE it!

Ever since Brett's trip, he and I have been texting back and forth "hoping" that we could go to the CMA Music Fest this year since it will probably be my last in Tennessee.... and last week we finally ordered the tickets.  We are SOOO excited!  I can't wait to share more!  In about 2 months Brett is coming up and I seriously can't wait!  We had a blast last year and can't wait to "top it" this summer with the CMA Fest.
