… and it’s all because of her!
We walked across the road from our cabin to get a glimpse of a small portion of the “Little Grand Canyon.”
I think Josey was just being Josey!
It’s a long way to the bottom just across that little flimsy board of a fence.
Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon.”
“Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet were caused simply by poor farming practices during the 1800s, …” (http://gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon)
Some of us hiked to the bottom of the canyon.
These ‘serious’ hikers decided to go for the 3 mile trail, while the rest of us went back the 1/4th mile we had come.
See those little people at the bottom of the canyon? That’s where the ‘serious’ hikers ended up.
We waited at the visitor’s center for the ‘serious’ hikers to get back.
Later some of the men decided to go hunting for wild hogs.
Randy is getting in that last phone call before it’s time to sit still and be quiet.
Dorcas brought a rooster for Jeanie to take home. Jeanie wasn’t as fond of him and had a hard time loving him like Dorcas did.
The rooster did his job and woke us up … even when he wasn’t supposed to.
“Like father, like son!”
While the hunters were gone some of us played “Corn Hole.”
Josey and Jerrill keep score.
Too bad the Acadia doesn’t use diesel fuel.
Happy 80th Birthday, Daddy!

We took turns fixing meals and had a very nice kitchen in which to work.
Singing the songs of the Church and heaven was a precious time together.
I’m so thankful to be grafted in to this wonderful family.

Sure enjoyed seeing Paul's siblings and spouses. Do you all do this every year? Would love to hear you all singing those hymns of the church and heaven.
Thanks for the pictures and write up Julia. I miss my southern cousins/aunts/uncles. I have some great memories with these people and staying at your house!!

I, too, wished to be able to hear the family hymns being sung -- bet that was a beautiful sound!
Now I know why you were in GA! What a blessed family time. I have never been to the Little Grand Canyon. Looks like a great place to go. Loved seeing all the pictures and the parting shot!!

My goodness Julia! Your pictures brought back so many memories. I am originally from Leesburg Georgia, not too far from The Little Grand Canyon. I have hiked in there many many times. I live in North Georgia now. We have our family reunion between Plains and Dawson each year, so two years ago we came back through and saw the canyon again. It sure looked like yall were having a grand time. Thank you for sharing.
