The Sheltons Day 3

Today was supposed to be a washout due to "Ernesto". So we decided to do our sightseeing first thing. Following a wonderful breakfast of french toast we headed out for Greenwood Falls. We had shown this to them last November when they were here but there was a lot of snow on the ground.

Rob - King of the Mountain!





Where Cressalyn is putting her foot is the same spot that Jacob Moore had trouble with in July. Look at the difference in the water levels in just 2 months! I guess we really need some rain!


While we were climbing we were concerned about the younger children who were very anxious to hike and follow the bigger kids. Actually, we should have been concerned about the bigger kids! Ken followed the children down a steep rock and twisted his ankle. Then, when he lost his path, Nathan got stuck and then tried to cross over wet rocks. This was unsuccessful. He nearly slid down and was wedged in a cavity of the rocks! Luckily he stopped at the top of the slope and was able to brace himself against the rock as the water rushed over his feet. Rob came to the rescue and helped him get back. Whew!

It's been a good day. The rain held off until we returned to the house! Tracy and Judy were able to scrapbook some more and those that wanted to, watched football.
