Our Grandmother Memo came with us too. On Saturday we went to our Uncle Johnny's funeral in Black Mountain, NC. After the service, Aunt Sharon invited everyone to the Wild Hare event house for a reception. The whole time we were there I had to chase Peter John around the house because Mom told me to keep an eye on him. We left at about 8:30 P.M.
That Sunday, we went all over Pickens County looking for something to do until we passed a natural rock slide on the side of the interstate. The rock slide was phenomenal! I think we played on it for most of the day. My two favorite parts were the rapids and slippery rocks. When you got to the rapids, you weren't getting out even if you wanted to because the slippery rocks were at the bottom of the pool part of the river right after the slide, and when ever you tried to get out of the water you'd slip.
During most of the week, we played in a stream by our house and built a dam that turned one side of it into a swimming pool. Before we built the dam, the stream was very small and there were no animals in it. When the dam deepened the stream, it turned into a whole ecosystem, and we found crayfish, huge salamanders that where sometimes a foot long, baby trout, catfish, minnows, toads the size of a grown mans hand and other sizes, and frogs.
There is a lot more about this trip, but these are some of my favorite parts of it.
