Jumping off cliffs

One of the popular things to do at Greers Ferry Lake is jumping/diving off the cliffs. I jumped once this year - and not even from the highest one. . . it's seems I've gotten a little bit scared in my old age! :)

Gerald and Jackson had a great time jumping and diving over and over! I had a great time watching them!! I think the shadows on the rocks look cool.
Jackson was a little bit irritated with us because we made him wear his life jacket when jumping. He's a great swimmer - but sometimes the lake gets a little rough and it's easy to get tired from all the jumping and climbing back up the rocks before jumping again. One afternoon, Zeus and I dropped Gerald and Jackson off and went out in the boat so I could get the pictures shown above. The afternoon we did this - the lake was really rough. I would motor to one side of the cliffs and then we'd float along until I had to motor back. I tried to get a few pics of Zeus while Gerald and Jackson would be climbing back up the rocks. . . When I was looking through my pics - this one cracked me up! It looks like Zeus is making a face and half-way smiling! Almost like he was laughing at the boys! Here's a zoomed in view. . . not a great quality pic - but you can see his smile better!
