Amicalola Falls

We packed a lunch and headed an hour north a couple of Saturdays ago to visit Amicalola Falls. It was so amazing and beautiful!! We all fell in love with the place and we will be going back as often as we can!

When we first entered the State Park we were greeted by this sign . . . YIKES!
Thankfully we didn't see any bears, other than the stuffed one in the museum. First we drove to the top of the mountain to check things out. Here is Trevor looking down, over the Falls.



Anderson and Caius

We read a sign which said that we could walk down 450 steps to the middle of the Falls where there was an overlook bridge. After we ate our lunch, we headed down.
While we were on the bridge, I asked Kris if it were raining or if that was just the overspray of the Falls. He thought it was a little of both. We stood in amazement of God's amazing creation for a few minutes and then headed back up the steps. (going down was much easier:) Half way up the steps it started down pouring!!! We were all soaked, but we had a lot of fun!!!

Date Night With Ryan

Ryan asked if he could take me out for my birthday present this year. He had recently done a few things to earn some cash of his own. Wasn't that sweet that he wanted to use some of his money to take me out? He picked the place, Mexican, which we both love and then he asked if we could go to Bruster's afterwards for dessert. We had lots of fun conversation. He asked if he could hold my hand while we drove. He asked the waiter for things we needed and he was so sweet! At the end of the evening he said, "This is the best date I have ever been on!"

At The P-A-R-K Park

Here are a few more pictures from our time with the Andersons during the week before Easter.
Anderson and Charlie are wearing matching t-shirts (they LOVE each other). On the day Charlie was to go home they were talking about the possibilities of Aaron and Sara adopting Anderson so that he could live with Charlie:)
These two have a love hate relationship, but what gives me hope is that was Anderson and Charlie 4 years ago! Jimmy and Cai:
