Sinkhole and Prairie

Our good friends Zach and Gwen (soon to be married!) were in Gainesville over the weekend. We visited Paynes Prairie and a very large sinkhole. We also watched their 6-month-old pup, Roxy, play with our 9-year-old Chance, who locked himself in the bathroom just yesterday to have a fit in her absence.

Water makes a sinkhole holier.
