4th of July in Ellijay - Part 1

On Friday evening, we met Vince's parents, Barbara & Jerry, and my cousin Rachel, her husband Pat, her 2 kids, Ravyn & Cody, and Ravyn's friend Selina, and my niece, Elise in Ellijay, GA.
On Saturday morning, we took them to Amicalola Falls to see the 720 foot water fall. The kids found some fool's gold on the rocks on the way to the falls. So many rocks were sparkling with gold on them. We also found a 1940s truck stuck up in the trees on the way to the falls. I guess they had a wreck many many years ago.
The falls were very pretty that day.

Pat, Elise, Ravyn & Selina hiked up the 400+ stairs to the top to see where the falls begin. They waded into the creek bed.
After our hike, we went to the pool to enjoy the cool water. It was so refreshing after a hot day.
