The Mother's Day Honeysuckle Run

For Mother's Day Elizabeth wanted to take a hike at Cheaha State Park. This is a great time for this hike because the hydrangea flowers are all blooming along the path. I also had the pleasure of smelling the honeysuckle flowers the entire trip up and back - real good stuff. Terence and I took the bike and the rest of the crew went in the cage.


As we got closer to the park, the sky got darker. We had checked weather three days ago and everything looked fine and we were hoping that it hadn't changed. This is a picture on the top of the mountain and you can see the dark & windy sky.


Here is a nice scenic shot that Sarah Joy took.

Everyone but Dylan and his friend, Draven, in poser shots.





At the bottom of the mountain is a small lake for swimming, playground, bathrooms, and picnic area. We let the crew relax a bit and we ate snacks before headin' back up.



This is us back at the top of the mountain heading back to the car to enjoy the meal that Elizabeth prepared for us.



We did one more walk before dropping Draven off at his parents, who were camping in the park that weekend.


This walk is a wooden walkway that leads to a nice overlook.



We visited with Daven's family for a bit before hittin' the road.
