Weekend Getaway

We have been busy all summer long, but have not had a chance to just relax. So last weekend we decided to rent a cabin up in Helen, Georgia. It is a small German town. The whole town is built to look like a small German town. I did not get any pictures of it, I forgot. You will just have to come and visit me and I will be glad to take you there. Here are a few pictures of the cabin we rented. It was small, but also big. Does that make sense? We had a blast, except we were missing a big ingredient of our family JESSICA! She was on the Pioneer Trek for our stake. We missed here terribly. We are not going to have much longer before she moves to go to college in AZ, (we are trying to talk her into going her in Georgia.) So it was not the same, but we still had a great time. There were three levels to this cabin, and this was one of three decks. It was very relaxing. The view from one of the decks. The kids loved the pool table. The hot tub was very relaxing.

They really enjoyed it. I enjoyed having time to read!!!! I started Twilight a month ago. Yes, I finally finished it at the cabin. I had borrowed from Laura (Thanks), but I bought the whole series, plus the Host at a local bookstore there by the cabin. The kids enjoying smores! It was to hot for a fire, so we made them in the microwave. The sunset was very pretty and Hunter took this picture of it. On Saturday we all enjoyed a round of miniature golf.

Spencer got a hole in one TWICE!!! The lucky duck. Notice his shirt my dear friends in Oregon. Yes he is a duck fan. What a trader!!!! We still love him though. Taylor's shot of the flowers. After playing golf, they had an ice cream parlor. It was a hot humid day so we enjoyed a nice ice cream cone to cool us down.

Look at those big beautiful blue eyes. The boys down at the river. This train was at the local bookstore we went to. They let the kids play on it. Next time we go and we are going to as soon as we can. We are going to tube down the river, play another round of golf and just enjoy being together as a family. We are not going to make the mistake again and we are going to make sure that we have Jessica there with us. We missed her.
