CONTINUING TO HAVE FUN!!!!!

Last night we tried to go to Randy's for dinner. They are closed on Mondays. So, we are planning on going tonight. We are at the library now because they have free internet.

This morning, we decided to go to Cloudland Canyon for a hike. Z & E, do you remember going there with the Howard family? Dad & I took the fork to the right instead of the left we took last year. We walked FOREVER!!!!! The sign said 3/10 of a mile, but I think they measured straight down because we walked down stairs and hills forever - I bet we walked 6 miles around and around. When we got back to the fork in the road, we went the other way. The HUGE waterfall was only 1/10 away from the fork (the place we played in the water with the Howard family). It is off limits now. The Georgian's made a law that you can't climb on the rocks, or get in the water. Bummer! I am so glad that we let you kids play in the water last year, now you can't do it.

Guess what? They rent cabins here for $120 a night. They have three bedrooms. Anyone want to take a road trip in the near future?

Here are some of the stairs we climbed. Going down was bad enough, but we had to climb them back up (torture, for sure). There are over 1,000 stairs to climb (not counting the hills and level parts).


Proof that Dad made it to the bottom. This is where we let the kids play in the water last year and climb behind the falls. There is a sign now that prohibits climbing on the rocks, etc. How stupid!

Remember this huge rock, kids? Going down we enjoyed looking at it. The trail goes right under this rock.

Here is some of the gorgeous view. The camera doesn't do it justice, but we thought you would like to see it anyway. You all need to come down here and check it out for yourselves.

A good resting place on the way back up. It is shady and the breeze comes by every so often. I think I stayed here over 10 minutes trying to catch my breath. I guess the scenery took it away.

More views of our cabin. This is the porch that overlooks the valley (it is a long way down - remember losing tennis balls down the hill, Zachary?).

Mrs. Spider was busy on our front porch last night - ewww!
Having a great time. We can never thank you kids enough for this trip, but we will keep on trying. THANKS!!!!!
