Going for a drive...

So we loaded up in the car on Sunday and went for a drive. I wanted to go see Talladega National Forest and we didn't have any other plans, so off we went. We loaded up into the Dodge (ha ha ha! together time!) and off we went. We stopped at Tallageda Super Speedway, but since there was no race, it wasn't very exciting. Then we tried to find the Forest. You wouldn't think it would be difficult, but they don't do signs here until the very last moment.

We found Cheaha State Park and they had some fun roads! Up and down, left and right, it was a bunch of fun (see the video)! It was nice to get away for a while and not have any purpose.

Boating with Family

While Heather and Braedon were here, we went out on the boat one afternoon. After Audrey and Nate arrived we headed straight to the lake. We were out for an hour or so, when we had to go back in to run and pick up Jake and Kyler from school. It was fun though. Unfortunatly though, the boat we had was trashed the weekend before and hadn't been fixed yet, so it wasn't as fun as it has been in the past. I am glad we were able to go out with them though. =)

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park

A few weeks ago we went to Horseshoe Bend National Military Park because they were shooting the guns and cannons they used during the war of 1812. It was neat. The people were in period dress and then then went step by step how to shoot the cannon. We were probably 20 yards away and it was still really loud; and they only shot blanks. It would have been much louder if they had actual shots and the cannons would have shot back about 6 feet each time. I can only imagine how loud it would have been with lots of those being shot. It was neat to watch.
