Black Rock Mountain State Park -- Labor Day weekend

Our long weekend at Black Rock was cut short by the tropical storm that came off the Gulf and crossed over N. Ga. In addition to that, Brian left Macon with a horrible sinus/head cold that did not get any better and totally wiped out Saturday - for him. Otherwise, the boys and I had a pretty good time. Saturday morning (while B felt ok) we made a quick visit to Goats on a Roof. As soon as we got back B went to bed and the boys and I went on a "critter exploration" in the (cold) stream that feeds Black Rock Lake. Since we were the only ones to show up we had a personal escort by a Ranger. The boys made fast friends with our campsite neighbors: Eli, Evan and Adaline. They rode bikes, played games and explored the woods. Brice had is first official bike crash complete with a torn shirt, torn up belly, and a nice black and blue hip bone..... Sunday, before we packed up, we went on a geocaching expedition and found several good caches. Despite our early departure we made as much fun as we could out of the roadtrip home. We stopped at Tallulah Gorge for a little peek....1,000 feet down! Then we stopped for supper at The Varsity in Athens. Sam thought it was the best hotdog he'd ever eaten. Classic Disney movies kept the boys entertained while Brian and listened to bluegrass as we drove home through the rain.

A brief moment when B felt good and showed off his juggling skills.

Goats on the roof!
