What a vacation!

~ This picture is of "Mother Cabbage" about to give birth to a baby Cabbage Patch Kid. 2 years ago when we went the baby was named after Noah. Unfortunately it was some kids birthday so we didn't get to help name this baby girl "Ella." :)

We have had such a great time so far! We got to the "cabin" on Monday night late. Of course the kids were so excited to be here, so we all stayed up late.

Tuesday we went to my favorite breakfast place, MaGooch's for some of the best cheap breakfast you can get. We left there, went to the brand new Babyland General Hospital (the birth place of the cabbage patch kids). The kids got their prizes for the week - a boy cpk dog for Noah and a girl cpk for Ella that's a butterfly. We headed then to the welcome center in Helen to pick up brochures and info (kids love free brochures) and off to the local YMCA to go swimming in the outdoor pool.

Wednesday we headed over to Dawsonville, GA to enjoy the outlets and lunch at Five Guys (sadly, the kids wanted McD's so we brought in happy meals to the greatest hamburger place ever). We picked up a few clothes for the kids for next year (we always buy a season ahead, it saves a ton of money!). At 2:00 we got to go see Toy Story 3 in 3D with the kids. My parents had already taken the kids to see it last month, but they were excited to share it with us. We came home and the kids played in the creek and picked out rocks (there you go Bekah) that we will paint today or tomorrow.

Today we are headed to Vogel state park for the day to play in the lake, possibly paddle boat some, and picnic.

This has been such a relaxing vacation!
