We spent 3 days cooking over the fire (James did most of the cooking--delicious!), swimming in the lake, visiting the cute town of Helen, and hanging out with friends. After the initial frustration of hauling all our stuff up there and despite the pretty intense heat, it really was a perfect, relaxing, enjoyable trip. The best part was hanging out with Ethie and James, of course!
We took a hike up to Anna Ruby Falls, which was quite gorgeous...
Being over 8 months pregnant, everyone kept asking if I was going to have my baby. But actually, I felt great and I think it was good for me to be active and distracted!
Ethie made a friend the minute we got there and they were buddies the whole time. It was so cute and I was so glad he was getting along so well with someone! Here's Ethie and Erick, Adam and Eve's little boy...
And the rest of the kids. Ethan was in heaven!
Saturday morning we went tubing, which was something we'd been looking forward to. It was so hot the whole time and I couldn't wait to just relax down the river. However, tubes are NOT comfortable when you're 8 months pregnant! I was so squashed and the river was SO crowded and trying to keep everyone together was almost impossible unless you tied yourselves together. So that's what we ended up doing and it was fine, although we don't know that we will do it again!
We also went to a model train museum in Helen with a replica of a German town and I think that was one of James' favorite spots... Pretty amazing!
Overall, so much fun to spend time as a family and with good friends in beautiful nature!!!
