June 18 - For Deron's birthday we did some exploring. From Plant City Bonsai to Tallulah Gorge and then to Bass Pro. It was one full day!!!
Deron & Camille with their favorite tree in the background - a bonsai red Japanese maple!
Jasen learned how to blow bubbles with his gum!
Shellie helping grandma enjoy the bonsai
A birthday present - a bonsai Japanese maple!
At the top of the gorge.
Steve & Shellie at the Gorge Overlook
If you couldn't tell, that is Prestin!
Deron & Camille looking out over the gorge. 
Lunch at Tallulah state park.
First line of order... get those drinks open!
Turkey croissant sandwiches... yum!
Now it's walking time!
You got to take note of the "lolly bags" they are carrying! We head off on a hike with chocolate, but no water.
First stop!
Enjoying the views!
Yep, it was beautiful!
WOW!
Just a cute couple we saw along the way!
Then we took off down the steps... down wasn't too bad, but what goes down must come back up. By the time we were done, we had covered over 1000 steps!!! Shellie & grandma waited at the top outlook!
Down, down , down...
Then across a cool suspension bridge.
And more steps down...
At the bottom of the gorge.
There's that cute couple again!
Views from the gorge floor!
Prestin taking an opportunity to rest while we worked our way back up to the top.
Jasen needed a break so he simply stopped and sat down on the steps!
Back up on top, but on the other side of the gorge!
Can you see Shellie?
There's Shellie on the other side.
The dam
We finally reconnected after an hour or so.

One last look at the gorge!
And Steve had to push grandma back up the hill!
We made it. Does Steve look sweaty or what?!
Next stop... Bass Pro for a knife!
What an amazing day!
