We gathered at the old home place on Turkey Creek on Sunday afternoon for the family tradition of sliding down the waterfalls.
For several of the third generation it was the first time to take the plunge or initiation - Kyle, Madison, and Little Jack.
All the kids had a great time, and most of the second generation folks had to try it just one more time, even getting Keith to test the waters for the first time to see what all the fuss was about.
All of us oldies from the first generation stood on the sidelines taking pictures and reminiscing:
'The water was colder back when we started this tradition!'
'Remember that tree that fell across the falls and we had to duck our heads under it?'
'Remember when we would bring a truckload of church youth up here from Atlanta to slide down the falls?'
'What about that time Papaw slid down all the way from the top, by accident!'
Looking forward to initiating the newest family members - Cecilia, Natasha, and Lisa - the next time they are down this way in the summertime.
Yes, another generation has been doused in the cold waters of Turkey Creek!
