Heeeeeere Fishy Fishy Fishy!

No bites yet, but we're having a good time trying.
First along the Chattahoochee right by our home:


Then trying the fishing lake at Lost Mountain:


Sawyer baited his own hook with the huge nightcrawler!  I'm determined not to let them be too 'city'.  :)



Hunter loves his Cars pole, and that it just happens to match his Cars hat he picked out for this summer.


A big thank you to Grandpa Gayan for the fishing poles!  Can't wait to send you a picture with an actual caught fish!

Indian Mounds Trip

One Saturday morning early in June, we headed up to check out the Etowah Indian Mounds in Cartersville.  It was a gorgeous, cool, windy day to do that sort of thing outdoors, and we all loved learning about the civilization that used to live here along this river.


There are three mounds (large, medium & small).  The largest mound was for the Indian Chief's home.  The medium mound was where the high priest lived, and the small mound in back was for the chief's burial.


View from the top of the chief's mound = gorgeous.  I'd pick this mound too!  :)  They might be tiny compared to mountains we had out west, but they're still pretty enough to satisfy any lingering mountain cravings.  I LOVE that Georgia has eeeeevvverything.  I can't think of another place I'd be this completely satisfied with for settling down!


Down by the river, which wrapped around the mounds area:
