Pocket Wilderness and Callaway Gardens

Daddy and Amanda came to visit this past weekend. On Saturday they took us to Callaway Gardens near La Grange, GA. We really enjoyed  a beautiful sun shiny day. Halle did so well, she loved being outside all day.
All these photos were taken by Amanda. She is a wonderful photographer!
The Gardens have an amazing Butterfly Sanctuary FULL of every kind of butterfly. Halle liked following them around and watching them fly by her head.
She would not stop SMILING all day.

Yeah...she wanted to eat the pine straw.

SWEET GIRL!

On Sunday we took a trip up to Tennessee to a favorite spot of Dan and I's...Pocket Wilderness and Laurel Falls. Dan and I knew it would be beautiful as usual but we were completely breath taken when we got there. From the rain we've received, the streams, waterfalls, and  rivers were LOADED with water which made for a really scenic five mile hike along the river (usually a creek.)  The hike was so gorgeous and refreshing.

Dan and I have taken many hiking and camping trips to Pocket Wilderness while dating, with college friends and youth trips when we were youth pastoring. But never have we seen this water fall so full before. Yep...that's Daddy up there on the dead tree.
We love when daddy and Amanda come to visit. We know we are going to have a blast. Growing up with daddy was so spontaneous and fun. We went on random, really cool trips for the weekends all the time. Things have not changed with daddy. He is still an adventurer. We love you you guys alot and are going to miss your monthly visits. 

 Amanda was the photographer for the weekend. She took some amazing pictures. Thank you G-Ma Amanda.
