Our family took a little detour this year on our fall trip. We usually go to Gatlinburg, but this time we went to Helen, Georgia. This was the lake/big pond in front of our cabin.
This was our home away from home for a few nights. Parker called it Nana's brown house.
Parker's favorite place was the model train display. He went twice!
This is downtown Helen, we were preparing to do a little shopping!
Our cabin had a couple of paddle boats that everyone enjoyed.
Of course, Kelsie went too!
There was marshmallow roasting. . .
and Famous Fred's Peanuts where we learned that we do not like boiled peanuts.
There was carriage rides for some. . .
others choose to join in the Octoberfest celebration.
The horse who took us on a ride was Cadillac Jack. Paker got to feed him a carrot at the end of the ride, but he ate it so fast, I didn't get a picture!
Every year we have the World Championship miniature golf championship. This time it was at Pirate's Cove. The winner gets to keep the raccoon skin cap for a year! Dad had possession when we started, but Joey won it from him!
This is why I never win!
We all had ice cream after the golf game.
On the way home we stopped by the Ocoee River on the way home and made some snapshots where the Olympics were held.

Sounds like you all had a very good time. Of course it is always good to get away with family and just take time to enjoy each others company. This sounds like a place that we might be interested in.
Looks like everyone had a great time!!!
I just finished the last of the homemade candy turtles I bought at Hansel and Gretel's in Helen. Yum.
I love the Peanut sign! How funny!
