Daddy's birthday weekend was a lot of fun. We started out the weekend by going to Burt's Pumpkin Patch. Doug took the day off from work and Joshua had the day off at school so we headed to the North GA mountains. We ended up picking out a medium sized $10 pumpkin and Taylor picked out a smaller pumpkin that is good for making pumpkin pie with. They also each got a mini pumpkin (which ended up being Taylor's favorite). After buying pumpkins, we headed over to the hayride area. The hayride is always a big hit, and it was fun to see the pumpkins in the fields, and just enjoy the beautiful Fall leaves and fresh air. After Burt's, we headed to Amicaloa Falls and hiked from the top of the falls to about half way down...the point were you can stand on a bridge with a close up view of the falls. Taylor walked part of of the time and got a ride from Daddy the other half of the time. Joshua is quite the hiker now and keeps up a good pace. We then drove down to the bottom of the park and the kids played on the playground for close to an hour. We ended out the day at the outlet mall...per Mommy's request and Daddy's dismay:)
On Saturday, Daddy and Joshua sold popcorn for the cub scouts fundraiser. On Sunday, we went to church, ate lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Sweet Tomatoes, and then we hiked at Sweet Water Creek in the afternoon. Joshua did not remember hiking there before, which is amazing, because we have been there so many times before. The water level was low, and so all of us had fun climbing across the rocks and making it out about halfway across the river! Great day to spend outside as the weather was gorgeous. We then picked up a pizza, ate dinner, sang Happy Birthday to Daddy, ate chocolate cake and then Daddy got to open gifts. Before bedtime, the kids went with Daddy outside and jumped on the trampoline in the dark, which has become the new hit which Taylor started the day before!!
Happy Birthday, Doug!!
