As I write this posting, Brenda and Sherry White are driving Brice back and are meeting with Mandy right about now. The sun has slipped deep beneath the tree line and it's beginning to darken ... and turn a little cooler. Oh, how I love this season of the year!
It rained pretty good Friday night - in fact the camp staff passed out "what to do in case of a tornado" instructions. It wasn't too bad here but we heard that a tornado had hit Huntsville AL. No damage here. If there was any damage, it was at Desoto's park restaurant. They served a Friday night seafood buffet - so our crew hit that pretty hard. There was a pretty waterfall behind the restaurant - that's it below with Brice ...it's a bit dark already so it's a little hard to see.
After supper we all headed for the nature center where we took in natural artifacts and a lot of animal mounts. That's Brice posing with "Charlie" the (live) king snake. The staff even showed a halloween movie! How's that for finding shelter while it rained:)
Saturday morning we all headed over to Cathedral Caverns State Park about 30 miles West of Desoto and spent a couple of hours touring this giant cave. I never guessed that Alabama hid such wonders. This cave is larger and has more natural features than CarlsBad (sorry for the spelling) Cavern! Unbelievable! Alabama, like GA, just doesn't have the budget for marketing and advertising.
Saturday night we celebrated an early birthday party for Brice. (He'll be 8 yoa on Oct 24th). He happily said that it was "the best ever". Glad he liked it - and we all enjoyed cupcakes around the fire.
As you may have noted this post was for Friday night and Saturday. Today (Sunday) was a full day too with church in the morning and hiking to more waterfalls in the afternoon ...and with any luck, I'll hopefully get to Sunday's posting tomorrow! Too bad Karl and Cookie had to leave today :(
Chow, Pappy
