Sunday we went hiking in like literally THE middle of NOWHERE. It’s down this itty bitty dirt road, and you have to cross a stream to get to the hiking trail. I didn’t think we were going to make it! There’s no like official state park presence, and no bathrooms. Joelle was NOT very thrilled by this wilderness experience! Jeremiah and Benjamin however, had a BALL! (It’s called High Shoals State Park if you are interested).
Benjamin was an absolute MACHINE! He seriously hiked up and back about 2 1/4 miles, a lot of it uphill. And he didn’t want to stop! The drive up and back took about 5 hours. We were expecting him to totally conk out on the trip home – NOPE!! He was still going strong when we got home, even after stopping to eat. Mommy and Daddy were exhausted, but not Little B! He did go to bed early, but woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, and ready to take on another morning. Jeremiah has decided that he needs to go hiking more often, since B enjoyed it so much! Joelle is NOT a nature person, NOT.AT.ALL. This should turn out to lead to many interesting adventures in the Lewis household! :-)
Jeremiah got PROMOTED!! He is now the district manager for the ENTIRE state of GA. Joelle and Benjamin are VERY proud of him. It does mean, however, that he has to work a whole lot more. Tonight, as an example, he gets done at an all day account, and then has to drive down to Savannah to work at another account. He also has to go out of town in the middle of the week. We knew that this promotion would mean more work, but we really felt God leading us to take it. He certainly deserves it with how hard he works!
Some pics from our recent trip to Grandma’s too!
