See those wackos climbing up this beautiful piece of rock that God placed on Lake Keowee?
That would be my me and my husband.
We are still young at heart...but our bodies are feeling it today! 
This pic is worthy of a close(r)-up.I remember telling myself jump as far out as possible so I didn't go down bouncing off the rock. That explains my legs. As far as my arms, I was directed to hand on to my life jacket with my elbows in. This move has been since dubbed "the flying squirrel".
Stephen had no problem jumping off. This really was a long way down - 25-30 ft. You jump, and it feels like you hang in the air forever before you hit the water.
Rob had never jumped off the highest point of the rock. (You can jump at about 15 ft as well...which he had conquered before.) His competitive nature drug him up to the top this time....where he contemplated.....and contemplated. It was pretty funny. He would count to 2 and back out at the last moment. 
Finally, he took the plunge. 
Lake Keowee really is a beautiful lake. The water was surprisingly clear and the mountains in the background were an added bonus. Sure would be a nice spot to retire........

You are way braver than I am! Those pictures of ya'll jumping are halarious! I LOVE the earlier ones of your parents with Allie and Gabe...they are too cute! You can tell that they love their grandbabies! :)
I love the last line...I wonder who you were talking to?
Love you all!
There are some Susan Patton pics on my facebook if you get the chance to check them out! She did an amazing job...of course! As usual, our visit was too short. I wish I could find a way to spend more time with them!
Miss you!
