Wrong turns make the best turns

Yesterday we set off for Desoto Falls with my Dad, my friend Kelleyn and her three boys. Neither one of our Sat Navs wanted to find the falls so went with map and directions in hand. After several attempts at the directions, we evetually gave up trying to find the falls. We instead headed for Copper Creek in the Chattahoochee National Park. What a wonderful drive along a small dirt road through the forest. We stopped at the campground for a picnic lunch, and after the boys went swimming in the creek. Andrew played on the bank chasing after the butterflies and throwing rocks in the water. He loves to through rocks in water. We then headed for Helen, GA, an old town that was starting to die out so they turned it into a Bavarian theme town. We stopped at Hofer's Bakery and bought some tasty German pastries. I spotted a a Christmas store that I had not seen before. I was very well behaved and did not go in as I knew I would not come out empty handed!! Thank you to my wonderful friend Kelleyn for such a fun day.

We have bought a yearly membership to Atlanta Zoo, so are off there today. Pictures and a game to see if you can tell the difference between the animals that live at the zoo and my kids to follow.

I'm sad I never got to make it to Helen before we left.

Fun activities create memories that stay with us for ever. I have many of things our family did together.
