Amicalola Falls

We decided to go to Amicalola Falls today. We didn't want to waste this wonderful weekend with no humidity by staying inside. Days like this only come around every blue moon it seems. So we had a great time hiking up to the base of the falls. I got my workout in by pushing Sam up in the stroller as far as I could go. After you get to the base of the falls you have to climb 242 stairs to get to the top. No thanks, I'll drive. We took a lot of great pictures while we were up there. I had to pee so bad the whole time. Andy kept telling me to go behind a tree but there were a million people up there so I opted out of that one. Of course as soon as we got up there Griffen pooped but then begged to ride on our shoulders on the way down so that was a smelly good time.

After we changed both boys, we found a porta potty for me and then went to the playground. It was a really nice play area with mulch thank goodness and not sand. Griffen was having a really good time until he walked behind a girl that was swinging and got smacked right in the head and thrown back about 3 feet. Scared the crap out of me! Now he has mulch imprints on the side of his face. I think he was more shook up than scared. Poor baby. After that we changed both boys again ( Sam still has diarrhea from TN, and I guess getting hit just scared the sh*t out of Griffen). We then took this long ass dirt road back to a Baptist church that is in the middle of know where. Along the way we did find a spring that Andy got water from so now we will all have geartia ( I know thats not how you spell that) and will be having diarrhea for several weeks. I should know, I've had this before. Fun times.

On the way home we stopped and ate at Ruby Tuesdays where Griffen inhaled a huge bowl of mac n cheese, and okay, I admit, I inhaled a wonderful Triple Prime Cheddar Burger. Yes, this is why I'm fat. BUT we DID NOT order the Chocolate Tall Cake. I was really wanting it though.

So all in all, we had a really good time and I'm so glad we were able to get out and take advantage of this beautiful weather.
