Mister Taylor came back!- June.

Mama had some exciting new for us on Friday... Mister Taylor was coming to see us again!I decided not to mail myself to Grandma because Mister Taylor is so much fun.

We wanted to show him a good time, so we headed down to Anderson to see a balloon glow. Unfortunately, the people at the balloon festival can't read the schedules printed in the newspaper and online and the balloon glow was over by the time we got there. Boo, Anderson. But we did find a new barbeque joint that serves some excellent brisket and a sauce that was very close to the Lexington barbeque we miss from North Carolina.

On Saturday, we headed back to Stumphouse Mountain to show papa and Mister Taylor the train tunnel and waterfall. The effect was much better last time- foggy and dark. The tunnel was very spooky. This time it was very sunny and we could almost see the back of the tunnel form the entrance.

The waterfall was much better in good weather though.

We took the well maintained path down to the outlook.

Then we got WAY too bold and took what we thought was a path down the other side of the waterfall. It was more like rock-climbing than hiking. Luckily, there were two very helpful families to help pass kids down the rocks and help all of us over a rock with a 20 foot drop beside it.

But there was a big payoff when we got to the end of the path. We got to stand under the waterfall where Isaqueena hid! Go back and look at the picture of the waterfall to see how hidden this is.

Climbing back up was much easier than climbing down.

It was a beautiful fall day to be up in the mountains.

Back up top, Henry stood guard while we visited the port-o-potty. We skipped naps in favor of visiting our favorite restaurant in Wallhalla- Steakhouse Cafeteria. We love you and your delicious fried chicken.
