The Mountains

Kaye's dad lives in the mountains. We went up to house sit for him while they were away. We, of course, had letterboxes picked out, so we went to Boggs Creek first. The kids love to play in the creek.

A deep hole!

The perfect place to slide. Pierce slid first.

Then Gabe.

Next is Jamie.

Gabe and Jamie are about to go down.

Jamie is starting to slip and grabbed Gabe.

They had a blast here.

Goggles ready and looking for fish. Too funny!

The moms had fun reading while they played.

Look at those cute kids sitting in the waterfall.

Well, that was day one in the mountains.

Day two was tubing at Pappy's.

And they are off to the river.

Jodie and I were hooked together.

Pierce would hang on too.

Jodie and Pierce wanted to walk for awhile.

Pierce would help the ladies if they got caught on a rock or under the branches. Here he is hanging with Kaye.

At the end, there was a good sized rapid. So, we had to go back and ride over and over and over. Gabe went on his knees.

Gabe and Jamie went together.

We then went to Vogel State Park and the kids played putt-putt.

We saw some baby birds. Too cute! And played for a long time at the beach area!

The end of the day!

The next day we headed to Hiawassee to the beach area. We ate a picnic lunch and then the kids played in the lake.

Pierce is too cool for words!

We went to High Shoals Falls. Long walk but 2 cool falls.

This is the lower falls. We were bummed cause we hoped we could let the kids play in the waterfall.

There was a lot of pouting cause they can't play in the upper falls either.

But we found the creek so they could play.

But, DANG, it was cold.

We had a blast!
