Shaun's B-Day

For his birthday Shaun wanted to go to a State Park that he heard about from some guy at work. After some research we thought it would be another excellent adventure for us to go on. Boy, was it fun. We climbed and explored everywhere! There was a huge variety of soil of many colors and different textures. You had to be there, it was pretty cool. Shaun of course had us going through forbidden areas, trying to be like Lewis and Clark and going where no man has gone before, even though the signs said 'stay on the trail'. I was just as curious as Shaun was, so I didn't heed the warning either. I also loved how Isabel kept copying her daddy by kicking down rock formations, or throwing things down the hill. The video and last couple of pictures is Shaun being a father who likes to teach his kids how to really get to know your outdoors.




Love the way he fell asleep on the way home holding his toes.
(here is some information about Providence Canyon: Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon", is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. Providence Canyon actually is not a purely natural feature — the massive gullies (the deepest being 150 feet) were caused by erosion due to poor farming in the 1800s.)

  3. Oh wow! Do I have fond memories of three little boys playing in dirt. (and sometimes, Heather) But, the muddy days came later when you all discovered that was even more fun. What a treasure to have such things on film. By the way, Stay on the Trails! Hmmmm when have you heard that said to you before, Shaun.
    Love,
