Our Little Mountain Adventure

We set on Friday morning, November 19, for a weekend in the mountains.  Our first stop was Ruby Falls in Chattanooga.  Considering I am really afraid of enclosed spaces, going 1100 feet underground was not exactly my idea of a good time.  But the waterfall was beautiful and Tucker enjoyed it, so it was worth it.



There were some pretty neat formations down there.  It is so amazing to think of all the things that God created that we don't even know exist!  I mean this place is as far underground as the Empire State Building is tall!


I was so excited to get a family picture!  Even though Talon is never looking at the camera and cave air is not good for my hair.

Look who fell asleep on the way out of the cave... once he saw the waterfall he was over it!

We walked up to the lookout tower after our tour.  We learned that Tucker is afraid of heights. (not sure where he gets that? Ahem...Pappaw?)

Then we went to our cabin in Blue Ridge, GA.  It was way back in the woods and had a beautiful view of the mountains.  Daddy kept a fire going in the fireplace and the boys loved to help.

Another family picture!  This one would be super cute if you know who was looking at the camera.


Talon loved playing outside.


Tucker's toy was a ninja set... not very "mountain-like," but he absolutely loves it, so who cares.




We spotted this gorilla Friday on our way in, so Tucker wanted to stop on our way out and take a picture with him.  It was hilarious because he was so scared to walk up to it... he seriously thought it was going to jump out and get him.

We had such a fun time and didn't even really do anything except shop and eat!  We got to watch a few good late night football games, too.  It was a much needed relaxing weekend!
