Feasting and Celebrating at the Feast of Tabernacles

TABERNACLES in TENNESSEE!!!

 Our family tries to observe the Feasts that are spoken about in the Scriptures.  These Feasts are listed in Leviticus chapter 23.  We just celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles.  (Sukkot in Hebrew)  This is a time for us to gather together with friends and we all camp and fellowship for seven days.  It is a GREAT time.  We spent time each morning reading the Scriptures and singing.  It was a wonderful time of food, campfires, smores, and laughter!!

 The children even found a way to laugh when they were sitting on the side of the highway because of a flat tire on the trailer!!  We had only been on the road for about 2 hours when, yes, we had a flat.  We disconnected the trailer from the car and the guys went into town to get a new tire.  No, we did not have a spare!  OOPS!!!  It was closing time for all the tire shops, but TSC had a tire we bought and the wonderful people at Walmart stayed open late and got our blown tire replaced!  So we were back on the road 3 hours later with a new tire and a spare!  YEE HAW!!

Dayton and Christopher are getting to relax at our campsite

 We didn't take the bus because we were going to be camping.  You can see that we have the trailer set up pretty nice.

 The trailer worked so good!!  Sarah has her books and bookshelves up front with a futon and lazy boy recliner.  We had a full size fridge and shelves for all our canned goods and a table for prep work.

THE CAMPSITE!!!  It was so great!!!  The boys built the sukkah (our booth or temporary dwelling).  I think the campground thought we were going to be there for a LONG time!  It rained a lot and this dry area was very much appreciated!

 We had such a good time!  Monty brought our BIG grill.  The grill was busy.  We cooked all our food on that grill!

 This is the tent that Monty and I shared with Dayton.  It has two rooms, a heater, and we all stayed dry!!  Woo Hoo!!!!  Barrett and Devin stayed in the tent behind us and they did NOT stay dry!  Sarah and Will were in a tent next to Barrett and Devin.  They also did not stay dry.  We found a coin laundry and we got everything dried out!

 This campsite belongs to the Williams family.  They built a 3 room house for their sukkah!  It was quite impressive!

VOLLEYBALL!!!  The game of choice for this week!!!!

 I will say that Sarah and Monty made corn hole look quite enjoyable!!!!

DEVIN and BABY!!!!!!

Barrett might have won the game, but Devin had a great time!

This is the last picture and I just had to show all of you Devin's baby bump!  We were on our way to a wedding and Barrett and Devin looked so cute!  She just started to feel the baby moving!  Praise the Father for this sweet couple and this new little life!!!!!
