Yesterday we fled the heat here in town and headed to the somewhat cooler air of the mountains. Stone Mountain State Park, to be exact. One of our favorite places to go camping if we have the time, or else if camping is not practical, we just go there for the day to play in the river, which is what we did yesterday. We had a wonderful time as a family wading in the river, catching crawdads (or river lobsters as the girls call them), trout and water spiders, spying a watersnake (McKenna saw him first and calmly pointed him out to her Daddy), relaxing in a hammock while dipping our feet in the river's refreshing coolness, and then later going to a different area of the park to slide down the natural waterslide into a cool mountain pool below (Molls wasn't a big fan as you'll see in a photo below). We topped off the trip with some icecream on the way home. All in all, a day well spent basking in family togtherness, and enjoying the beauty of "God's creation"(as Molly aptly put it).

It must be nice to have friday's off! Our friday off (today, saturday)was very nice. Stream with ducks and grassy park full of crafters. MomMom and I went to Litiz (Megan, think Wilbur's Chocolate Factory)for their annual craft fair. As advertised, it must be the largest on the east coast. Crafters were set up in the park, which I expected, and up main street for about six blocks on both sides of the street and again another 6 or 7 city blocks on a perpendicular street, which I had not expected. All in all it took almost 4 hours to see everything. We did take a break in the middle to have lunch at General Sutter's Inn. According to the window the inn was established in 1764. That predates our independence.
Have a great day. Love DOPP
