Yay, they made it home.

I am happy to report that the 4 loads of laundry, I mean John & the 3 kids, came home safely last evening from Georgia. They had a great time there (even without my running commentary.) Here they are with John's brother Dave & family:

John was able to partially realize a dream of his by hiking on part of the Appalachian Trail. Edward & Maria went along, too:

Maria liked the scenery:

And so did Edward:

They stopped for a photo shoot at one of the shelters along the trail:

The next day they saw Martin Luther King Jr.'s church:

Then they did some other stuff that they forgot to take pictures of, probably because Mrs. Griswold wasn't with them.
