More from Fall Creek Falls


Here's another set of photos from our trip on Sunday with family to Fall Creek Falls (about an hour southwest of here). If you want to see more pictures from Fall Creek Falls (since it is a VERY special place to George and me) --look on my sidebar on the right and find labels. Click on FALL CREEK FALLS listed under the Labels.


Above is a picture taken from the lodge looking across the lake. See those people out there in a rowboat???? Ready to go???? It looked like SO much fun!!!! More pictures are below.







Here we are --after a delicious buffet dinner. George took this picture of us. At the head of the table is Wes. On the left is John, Carol and Bonnie. And on the right is Darlene and me.







I love this picture showing the green evergreen and the red Fall colors.







Now let's enjoy the yelllows of Fall.







You can see Fall Creek Falls in the lower right corner--but I took this picture to show some of the Fall Colors along the gorge.







George took this picture of us ---standing VERY close to the Cascades.


George and I are on our way to Tallulah Gorge in Georgia today. I will have the laptop---so I'll catch up when possible (and when I have a signal in those mountains).


There will be one more post (using timer) tomorrow from Fall Creek Falls.


Hope you all will have a great week. I'll get back with you when I can.
Hugs,

P.S. I apologize for not clarifying that "Nanner Puddin" is nothing more than Banana Pudding--Southern Style (with all of the calories shaken OUT).... ha ha ha.... I thought everyone knew what "Nanner Puddin" was!!!!! My My!!! This ole' southern gal is 'lahrning'.....

Fall Creek Falls State Park


There were seven of us who went to Fall Creek Falls State Park (southwest of Crossville) yesterday. My two cousins and their families and George and I met at the restaurant at the park for dinner about 1:30 p.m. They had a delicious buffet topped off with the best "nanner" puddin' in the south!!!!! YUM!!!!


With George and me were Cousin Bonnie, Cousin Carol, her hubby John, and John's sister Darlene and her hubby Wes. Darlene and Wes live west of Crossville in Sparta, TN. Dinner was delicious ---and the fellowship was even better.


After dinner, Darlene and West had to leave --and George and I enjoyed showing off one of our very favorite places to Bonnie, Carol and John. The sun was shining and there were some pretty Fall colors. We showed them five waterfalls and the gorgeous gorge.


As you can imagine, we took alot of pictures. Today, I will share a few with you . Above is six of the seven of us (since George took the picture). From left to right: Wes, Darlene, me, Bonnie, John and Carol. Below are more!







Here is a picture of Cane Creek---showing some of the pretty Fall colors.








Standing at the lookout area (with Fall Creek Falls in the background): John, Carol, Bonnie and George







More pretty colors while looking across the gorge







Some nice person offered to take a picture of all five of us while we were at the overlook admiring the gorge.


We had a wonderful day ---and I think my family enjoyed that state park as much as George and I do. Hope you had a great weekend also.


Hugs,
