Camping on Weiss Lake

This weekend the whole family went camping with the Venture Crew on Weiss Lake. Brad posed for this picture along with crew members Joey, Mr. Woodworth, Mr. Cobb, and Robby. We started at the Lake house and canoed a round trip of 20 Miles. We started canoeing Saturday morning and first stopped off at the Marina for lunch. Then we canoed over to a place called Yellow Creek Falls and did some primitive camping. Everyone camped including Mom and Addie. Mom did not canoe but helped carry gear with the car. We picked her up about 1/2 mile from the campsite. Every one has sore arms; the last 5 miles was into a stiff wind.

I even got a picture of Weston socializing with the girls - Elizabeth and Erin.

Lake House

Last week we spent some time at the Lake House. The Searcys and the Spinks joined us at various times over the week. We had good weather and even had some much needed rain.

For those of you who think Brad has become a City Kid here is a picture to dispel that rumor.

Nana and Papa really got into the fishing. Here they are preparing to reel in the big one. Nana caught several fish, a turtle and a clam. The big one got away...

Here is another picture of me with Sam Searcy in our favorite place.

It was a great weekend!

Hawaii Final Day

This entry is being created while sitting at the airport in San Francisco. We are on our way home and are exhausted! We had a great trip. We did not post from our day at the Volcano so here is one more picture from Volcanoes National Park.

Seeing an active volcano and watching it build an island is quite an amazing site. The Kilauea Volcano has been erupting continuously for over 25 year and it just stopped erupting two weeks ago on Fathers Day. There were several small earthquakes that shut off the flow of lava. Pressure is building at Puu Oo Vent so everyone at the Park was very excited as to where the Lava would start flowing again. We were lucky because they had closed most of the Park up until the day before we arrived.

We are heading back to Atlanta and will be home sometime tonight (7/2) around 8:00pm. Come see us and we will show you the thousand other pictures we took on the trip.
