Ash Cave- Henry.

On our last day, mama was itching to get out and do some hiking. Unfortunately for her, no one else had that itch. So she convinced Aunt Kate and Unkie Adam to drop her off three miles from Ash Cave so she could hike and meet us there. It was such a nice day that she ended up running (okay, jogging) the trail and had the most enjoyable jog she's had in a long time.

She knew she was getting close to Ash Cave because she heard voices below. She looked over the edge of the trail and saw this. The picture doesn't do it justice, but this is what she was literally standing on the edge of:

That's a 90 foot drop. With no barriers to stop anyone from going over. Grams told a funny story about taking papa and unkie to Ash Cave when they were little. It didn't sound like she had very much fun. Mama didn't let us go up to the top.

Juner and her chicken legs insisted on walking the whole way just like the big kids.

Ash Cave isn't really a caved, but all the limestone has been washed away so you can walk under it.

Plus there's water running over the edge of it and into a little stream at the bottom.

I had a good time running around but insisted on taking off my shoes and cleaning out the sand about 10 times.

Mama took this cool shot of the water coming down. The sun was just right.

Kids and grandkids. If you look close, you can see that everyone is wearing a Marion Ohio t-shirt. The girls scored these gems at the Walmart and even made matching shirts for us kids. You know you're jealous.

What a good looking family.

I was getting rowdy, so Aunt Girl threatened to throw me in the water.

Juner did some rock climbing followed by rock jumping.

Despite my protests, mama made me climb this big rock to pose with PawPaw and Aunt Girl. I did have fun jumping off..

Mama likes this picture because she thinks it really shows Juner's personality well. Messy hair and a scowl. She's just seconds away from pushing us all off the rock and taking it for her own.

Pawps couldn't resist climbing a fallen tree, but Grams made him come down because he's too valuable for the Army to lose.

Back at the car, Sadie begged her Uncle Brandon to go get something to eat already, but he said they had one more hike to go on.
