What a weekend to start off our Fall season! We started with Eden's school Fall Festival--a fun night with games, food, and a showing of Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin. This evening kicked off the kids long Fall Break weekend. We left out Saturday morning and headed to North Carolina for our special trip on the Great Smoky Mountain Railway. We spent time in the small town of Bryson City eating, shopping, and exploring before boarding our train to Dillsboro where Charlie Brown and friends were waiting in the Pumpkin Patch. The kids had fun trick-or-treating, playing games, and picking out their pumpkins to take home. This was Eden and Hank's first trip on a train and they really enjoyed it...a little nerve racking for me (scary). On Sunday we headed out, stopping at the Nantahala Outdoor Center to explore and eat a great breakfast where the kids got to see daddy fight off a snake sitting between the rocks where the kids were playing (what an experience that was). From there we cute across the mountains and landed in Ellijay and spent time there at the annual Apple Festival where we bought some yummy Golden Delicious apples (my fave), apple pies, and fritters!!
A great family weekend! We had so much fun, thanks Nanny! We love you :)
