Mountain Get-Away

For Memorial Day weekend, we packed up the boys and headed to my parents' cabin in the north Ga mountains.  Teddy was excited to hold Shae's binoculars during the drive

 (notice the ridiculous amount of stuff we "need" for 2 boys over 2 days in the background):

Yay we made it! And read for a walk in the fresh mountain air!

After relaxing at the cabin, we headed out to Lake Nottley on Sunday.  Not sure there is anything cuter than a boy fishing with his Daddy for the first time:

Shae also brought his inflatable kayak.  I love this picture:

Teddy and Shae on the water:

Glad we brought those binoculars!

While fishing and boat rides are great... nothing beats playing in the beach (ie- layer of sand on top of Ga red clay):

Leo had fun in the sand...

until he ate a big mouth full of that Ga red clay!

Luckily moods improved when we headed for pizza:

And it is always fun to take a bath with new (to us) bath toys:

So clean I could eat them up:

Leo and the bears:

And nothing says "vacation" like donuts for breakfast!!!

Monday morning we headed out to downtown Blairsville for the Memorial Day Parade we kept hearing about.  After searching for it, we discovered the parade is not held on Memorial Day... but was on Sat.  Hmmmm, that is definitely something to remember.

So we headed to the park instead:

Feet!! Don't you love them??? (The little ones)

Since Shae introduced Teddy to skipping rocks on water a while ago, Teddy is unable to pass by any still water without throwing rocks into it.   So adorable:
