Thanksgiving at Grandmother and Granddaddy's house

It's always so peaceful and relaxing to spend time at Grandmother and Granddaddy's house, and this Thanksgiving break was no exception.  I didn't have to take much homework (only two subjects, actually), so I had plenty of time to do other things.  It gave me an appreciated break from studying.  :-)

Uncle James, Aunt Zarella, and Ryan had arrived the day before me (Monday).  Wednesday afternoon, after it stopped raining, Ryan and I went on a walk to Blue Hole.
We found long sticks and poked leaves onto the ends to make ourselves flags to wave as we walked along.  :-)

There was a little bit of water running at Blue Hole.

Making ripples.

We happened to look over the edge at the same time, and I thought the image of our two heads reflected in the water looked so interesting that I had to take a picture of it.  

Blue Hole and upstream a ways.

Later I walked the whole trail by myself.  Upper Falls didn't look too bad; at least the water was clear.

Something Ryan loved to do all week was play "Chopsticks" with whoever would sit with him.  We got so confused -- what is the real tune of Chopsticks?  There seem to be several different ones...

Ryan also had a set of Legos for constructing various flying vehicles (such as an airplane, a helicopter, and some outer space vehicle), which he enjoyed building with Grandmother.
