Derrick is on spring break this week and we have had so much fun. It is like having Saturday every day! He spent time earlier in the week finishing "my" wall outside and playing with the boys in the yard. Yesterday, we drove to Amicalola Falls, in North Georgia, to hike and enjoy the beautiful weather. We took Farley and both boys.
Andrew rode in the carrier, while Scott was on his own two legs. I was so impressed with his hiking ability, especially half-way up, when we realized that the approach trail that we chose was rated "moderate to extreme." He was such a trooper and did a great job carrying himself to the top and down again. Below is a picture of us enjoying the falls. The breeze from the water felt great. 
The reason we chose the more difficult trail for the ascent was to avoid the 600 or so steps that most people climb to get to the top. We decided it wasn't good for Farley's back. On the way down, we avoided most of the steps, but ended up on about 175 of them. Farley was so scared because they were metal and you could see through them. Here Derrick is carrying him down some of the stairs (yes, Andrew is still on his back). Eventually he decided that it was OK to go down by himself.
