Spring Break

Well, we just made it home from a 4 day fun-filled trip to the mountains. My Uncle Stan owns a beautiful cabin in the mountains, and Emory and I took the kids up for a little get-away! We had a blast. We took the dogs and headed up last Thursday. We spent Thursday running around the top of a mountain, and then we went panning for gold. Have you ever panned for gold? Okay, have you panned for gold recently? I remember panning for gold being soo much fun! Ummmm, it is not fun! It is hard work. You have to shake a pan full of dirt for 30 minutes, slowly dumping the dirt and rocks, so you might catch 2 specks of gold! Not fun! Now panning for gems, that was more fun! The kids liked that way better. Mina actually got a really nice sized pink gem. We had fun, even though it wasn't as exciting as I had anticipated. Friday was a storm filled day. We were stuck in the cabin all day. Luckily, this is a stinkin' nice cabin with a lot to do! Carol and Randy headed up Friday night and spent the rest of the weekend with us, the kids loved that. They had a million activities planned for the kids, we made egg shaped rice krispie treats, had a devotional about the bugs of the Bible (Thanks to Poppa), an easter egg hunt and thats only naming a few!! We had a blast. So, we spent our Easter morning up in the North Ga. mountains. Check out a few pics from our little vacation!!
