Amicolola Falls and Apple Pickin' Fun

We took a two hour trip up to Ellijay last month to pick apples and also swung into see these falls that were close by. It was beautiful. It also had a scenic trail that wrapped all around and stuff but we only walked a little bit of it for there were A LOT of stairs. I didn't think the girls would have made it especially without a stroller.

Here the girls are standing by a little bridge crossing over a little stream.

Here Aiselyn and Abby are leaning over the lookout at top falls. I don't think I could have done that. Heights don't agree with me that much. I get really dizzy or leg wobbley or something. Needless to say, I didn't look over that far especially carrying Gabe!

The lookout from top falls. It was just beautiful. The only thing that could have made it better would be if we waited a few more weeks till the trees had ALL turned. That would be a sight.

Here's the family at the apple orchard in Ellijay, GA. We brought home 2 bushelful of apples to make a whole bunch of applesauce. My oh, my is that some good stuff we made up!

Tommy picking apples. Isn't he cute!

Aiselyn picking her share of apples and having a grand ole time.

Abby having too much fun picking apples. She got so excited, she often wouldn't wait for us to tell her which ones were the right ones to pick. The birds got a few apples for dinner--a nonintentional gift from Abby.

We had so much fun on that long drive and at the orchard. Inside we bought cider slushies, pear slushies, hot apple fried pies, and cider doughnuts. It was soooooo good. Their cider wasn't the best I had because it really only tasted like apple juice instead of tangy cider, but all-in-all it was a lot of fun!
