A Tour de France rider...

I am wearing a necklace with a cross like what all the Tour de France riders do! If you wear a cross, then you are a Tour de France rider. I rode like a Tour de France rider that day too. I just kept going up, going up the canyon road for 2 hours to the top.

More animals we adopted...

This pretty cat is Jasper Bell and he just came to our house meowing and we fed him ever since but he still meows. Karen and Rob thinks he's meowing because it might be a girl and wants a boy cat to mate and have kittens. I kind of believe that because I watched an episode of South Park one night and it was about that, the cat kept meowing and sticking her butt up and the boys kept trying to figure out why it was meowing like heck. So later in the show it ended up it wanted a boy cat so she can have kittens. I kind of think Jasper Bell is a boy and our neighbor Doug thinks it's a boy too so we got to take it down the vet and ask if it is a boy or a girl and why it keeps meowing. I think that is a good idea. Jasper is a really good cat and likes to sleep under the deck, also the dogs wouldn't get him under there. I really like the cat.


This dog and puppies, we also adopted them just today. Bonnie brought them over for mom's birthday and he haven't thought of their names yet. I think they are Golden Retrievers and now we have 6 dogs! Crazy! This dog is smart because it is carrying a latern for the puppies!

Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Falls (Film Site of"The Last of the Mohicans")....

Chimney Rock
Hickory Nut Falls, we hiked on a 2 and a half round trip trail with cliffs on the side to Hickory Nut Falls from Chimney Rock. Dad about died and waited for him a lot but we enjoyed the scenery. It was great!

Blue Ridge Mountains


Blue Ridge Mountains



Groundhog Slide. Hawkeye, Chingachgook, and Uncas ran up this steep slope as they chased Magua in the movie, "The Last of the Mohicans".




Nature's Showerbath. Here is where Magua and Uncas were embroiled in a dramatic fight scene and where Alice did the suicidal jump in "The Last of the Mohicans".





Top of Hickory Nut Falls. The climactic fight scene took place at the top of the falls where Chingachgook killed Magua in the movie, "The Last of the Mohicans".






This is where we stayed in. We rented 2 cabins at Black Forest Campground near Dupont State Forest.
















"The Fam" on top of Hickory Nut Falls.









Dupont State Forest....

Triple Falls
High Falls

Slide. You can slide on at the bottom side of High Falls. You can climb up to the top of that slide and go down and land in that pool at the bottom.


Fun! The rocks did not hurt my butt at all! It felt soft. Megan and Andrea slid on it more than I did, about a million times. You can slide on it for about 50 feet and then land in the 4 foot deep pool at the bottom. The water was cold!



Hooker Falls. This is where the part in "The Last of the Mohicans" was filmed where they came down on the canoe. It is high to go down it on a canoe, about 15-16 feet high.




I swam right beneath Hooker Falls! It was cold and the water was very deep! Dad did too and he got under the water fall to get his shower.





You can see me on right on the right edge of the falls. I swam way out there.

Ripley's Arquaruim in Myrtle Beach, SC...

My good old shark bite.


At first, I thought"why am I paying $20 to see some stupid fish?" Well, after I went through the aquarium, I felt satisfied. I saw sharks, sawfishes, jelly fish, piranhas, sting rays, an octapus, etc. This aquarium had a treadmill along the walk so you don't have to walk, when we got to the end I accidently press the emergency button and stopped the treadmill or whatever it was, everybody in the aquarium went "awwwww!" So I walked away and pretend it wasn't me. Anyhoo, the aquarium was awesome and I really liked the sharks. Everybody had fun.
