Amicalola Falls

Yesterday we took a trip up to Amicalola Falls in North Georgia. James and I went there before we were engaged and have not been back since. We have tried to go back a few times but once our battery died on the way, another time it ended up raining. So we finally made it today.

We started at the bottom and walked all the way to the top, 604 steps. And both kids did it. There are a few places where you are going up stairs after stairs, and we were so proud of them, they never even complained.

They loved seeing the falls as we walked. Then we went down and decided to do a more scenic route. It was a bit longer but it was fun. Caitlin liked following the colors marked on the tree, to determine which path we were on. At one point a very small snack crossed over her shoes, she screamed then laughed.

Needless to say they were wiped out by the time we got done. It hit 90 degreed in Georgia yesterday but it did not seem that hot because of the shade and the light mist (still hot just not that hot!).

This is a very busy week for us. Caitlin has graduation tomorrow and as I type this I want to cry. I cannot believe out little girl is almost five, Thursday is her birthday. Thursday is also her first swim meet. She loves swim team and has all ready improved. I looked over last week and she was doing the breast stroke to the middle of the pool without stopping! She has had to take a week off though because she got swimmers ear. Friday she has her birthday party. She is having friends over for a water party in the backyard.

You will see lots of pictures from this week!!
