Summer Vacation

We headed off for our summer vacation. This is a tunnel near pigeon forge. It is great to get away and see new things. It refreshes your mind.

Having moved from California the green trees are such a beautiful sight. We love to explore the South and we are glad to share with you some of our favorite pictures.

We thought this was such an interesting sight. We have never seen anything like this in the west.

This little store recently closed. It has always been painted this way since we moved here. It always makes John laugh to see the Mexican flag painted store.

A bloomin' cactus. We pass this every week on the way to church. I didn't think that they grew here but I stand corrected.

Here is Zack changing the sign.

This is the road the boys clean for the scout troop were in. We have all been down there to clean the road. Once I found a snake. I was not to happy about that.

This is a party we had at church notice the head stones in the picture. It looks like we are having a party at the cemetery.

Our virtual hike for Grandpa while he was on his mission.

We haven't even walked very far yet and it is already postcard perfect.

See the map Austin. This shows how far we are going to hike.

Dragonfly

I love how the trees make an arch. Sometimes this happens on roads here too. The trees connect over the top of the road making it seem like you are in a tunnel.

Austin caught this unfortunate grasshopper. He was nice and released him in the grass.

This blue flower makes for a great photo. Did you notice the bee on it? I didn't notice the bee until I was putting this picture on the computer. I wonder why he looks blue. Click on the picture. You may be able to make the photo bigger. Remember this works for any photo you want to see enlarged.

We found this bridge right next to a stream. We walked under it and noticed cracks in the stones holding it up. Scary. I told the boys there may be a treasure up on the ledge. You should have seen their eyes. It looked like there might be a wooden box of some sort up there. The boys were trying to figure out how they could get up to where it was.
