Clayton, Georgia

We went with some friends to Clayton, Georgia for a few days.  It was such a beautiful weekend and the leaves had just started changing colors.  The seasons here are a little big behind what we are used to, but when the leaves finally changed they were so gorgeous!  This was such a cute cabin we stayed in.

The rocking chair thing is a big thing in the south.  Many porches sport them and we were glad to relax in these two.  The whole cabin was decorated so adorably.  

 Our friends have the cutest little girl and she and McKay attacked Palmer.  I'm pretty sure he thought it was great.  

 In the morning we had pumpkin pancakes.  This little porch on the back of the cabin was so perfect for breathing in the crisp fall air while eating breakfast.  

One of the things we were super excited about was to head into South Carolina and pick apples.  I have always thought apple picking the perfect fall activity, but in Utah with insurance laws most of the apple orchards won't let you pick your own.  Our only experience of picking our own was at a tiny orchard with tiny apples.  I was so excited to finally get to finally do REAL apple picking....and we missed the season by a couple of weeks.  Apparently it was an early season and by the time we got there all of the apples had been picked.  Lame.  

 The boys however did get to shoot apples out of this awesome slingshot which made the whole drive worth it for them.  We checked with a lot of other orchards and found the same thing, no apples.  

 We went to a farm that had a little market full of fun jams, ciders and of course apples.  

There was every kind of jam you could think of.  This was my favorite one.  

 We each bought an apple pastry and were in heaven.

 Fresh picked apples are my favorite.  These were so delicious!

 The boys loved all of the wooden toys they could play on.  Isn't this train amazing?

 There was also a cute little farm that we could check out the animals.  

 Apparently many a pumpkin had been dropped off this tower.  I had a hard time getting the boys (and Josh) to come down!

 I'm not sure what the boys favorite thing was, the apple adventure or shooting beebee guns.  Actually i'm pretty sure it was the guns...I had a chance to shoot one too, I wasn't very good.

 The boys were much better shots. 

 We headed to Tallulah Gorge for a hike and it was breathtaking!

 My only picture of the millions of stairs that we climbed up and down.  It was a good workout.

 This suspension bridge was incredible, and a little freaky.

This trip was so much fun!  We have loved exploring Georgia!
