Trip to Dahlanega, Georgia

We took a trip Friday night up to North Georgia in Dahlanega where Tommy is doing some restoration work on some streams and rivers and ponds and things on this huge piece of property. we stayed up there for the night and tromped around on saturday and had a lot of fun on the mule and traipsing around.

Here we are getting ready to go.

Gabe's ready to drive this big thing already!
the girls with our dog, Chloe around one of the ponds. Right after this, we let chloe off the leash and she had sooooooo much fun running around and playing in the river that is coming up!


Here we are having a little walk around the pond.


this is the Chestetee River. The girls had a ton of fun getting all wet...while it lasted. Right when they were done, they were super cold. We were in the mountains after all!


they had a whole heap of fun running through the water. Chloe was super excited and kept running up and down and back again!

Here is Aiselyn finding some warmth in the warm sand after soaking herself in the river. she and abby were soooooo dirty and covered in sand. there was a little beach of sorts on the bank of the river. It was really neat. On the property, right next to this river there used to be an old Indian resevation or whatever and you can still find broken pottery and arrow heads in the ground. It was fun trying to spot some on our little walk to the river. Chloe had so much fun running around she didn't even want to get back into the mule to ride home, she insisted on running behind us all the way back. I was impressed with our little puppy for never even wanting to run away and for getting so much excercise! We had a fun trip and came home in time to get clean for Church today where the kids had their primary program. It was awesome. the kids yelled..I mean sang their little hearts out especially Aiselyn! All in all, it was a GREAT weekend!

Hey I've been noticing that Abby is starting to look more Bentleyish lately(especially on the facebook pictures)... there is some of us after all sis-not only Tommy in little Abby. She is so adorable regardless.
