Father's Day Weekend!

Great weekend...We went with the Allens  to their mountain house in Blue Ridge, GA.  It is an easy drive...about 3.5 hours from Montgomery if you do not encounter any traffic in Atlanta or if you do not have to stop!  The house had caught on fire last October so this was the first time we had been back in over 7 months!

Lindsays parents (mimi and grandpa), grandparents (GG and Grandy) went with us and Beau and Ashley along with their kids, Cole, Judah and Zoe were there.

Great time to play the Wii,  grill out,  watch a few movies, relax...we even went tubing.  

 I hope we will use the Mountain house more this year, but without all of the following:

Tons of wild blackberries growing around the house, but unfortunately they were not ready to be picked...Sorry Lindsay!

No trip to Blue Ridge with the kids is complete without a trip to Huck's General Store!  The store is great!  Has a great selection of old and new candies, Great cold bottle drink selection, and other fun toys from the past.  They even opened up a small indoor putt putt course for kids downstairs and a gem mining thing (will have to be a separate post) for kids to look for "gems" by using a sifting box and running water to...Check out the pictures below!
