n*tara Outing at Doe River Gorge

On Saturday, n*tara had a company picnic out at Doe River Gorge. In the morning, Andy went paint balling with a bunch of the men and had a great time. He also has some great "war wounds" to show off now. Christopher, Cortny, Sunny, Esther, Anna and I drove out to meet them around lunch time.

Christopher must have been hungry, because he ate a hot dog, a bag of sun chips, a huge chocolate chip cookie and a large spoonful of baked beans. Finally...he's developing an appetite.

After lunch, we headed over to the "lake/pool" to swim for awhile. It was blazing hot, so the water felt wonderful.

Sunny's "Rock."















Although she's now walking pretty well, Sunny still wanted to hold on to Christopher when standing in the water.















Relaxing in the water.















After swimming, we took a ride on the old ET and WNC railroad that stretched between Johnson City, TN and Boone, NC. It was built to haul iron ore out of the mountains. They now give rides from Doe River to a little over a mile down the track where the Gorge is located. It's quite beautiful!

VERY HOT yet fun day. Thanks, n*tara.
