Here are the boys catching frogs on their hike. This was hike attempt #2...the day before, they left the house for hike attempt #1 & within 5 minutes I heard Dawson screaming outside. Apparently, a bee had flown up his shirt & stung him 3 times! (What is it with this poor kid & things that sting you? Jelly fish & mosquitos love him too!) Anyways, he was too scared of bees to try the hike again on the first day. Papaw convinced him to try the hike again the following day. Here was the funny part: Dawson only agreed to go the second time, after he had Papaw promise to BE VERY QUIET so that the bees would not hear them coming. Then, when they left, Dawson talked my Dad's ear off...in fact, I sat out on my porch after they left & I could hear Dawson just chatting away in the distance long after I couldn't see them anymore! So much for being quiet. Maybe all the chatting scared the bees away because the second hike was a success & the bees kept their distance.

The weekend they were visiting, was the weekend they were running the 'fall colors wagon tours.' Unfortunately, the fall colors were not really out yet because of the crazy weather. Usually the fall colors peak here around the 3rd week of September, but because their summer weather hit so late this year, the colors did not peak until mid-October. But, we all had a good time enjoying the ride & scenery anyway.

Just looked at your last 3 visitor posts. What fun to have family come and visit. I don't know about you, but for me, it makes my house seem like a home.
