Jones Bridge Park




Last Friday, Helen and the boys packed a picnic lunch and went to Jones Bridge Park. Adam was disappointed that Helen decided not to ride bikes because it looked like it might rain, but Derek was happy not to have to exert himself any more than necessary.

The boys wore their bathing suits and went swimming, but they were surprised that the water was so cold. Much colder than the pool or even Lake Lanier where they were swimming a couple weeks ago. We explained that the water in the Chattahoochee River is so cold because the water is released from Buford Dam and the water that is released comes from the bottom of Lake Lanier which is very deep and the water at the bottom of the lake is very cold.
