Day in the mountains

MG and I took the kids up to the mountains yesterday for and adventure.  I think we had as much fun as the kids did.  It brought back memories of past road trips and made us both ready to go on a few more.   
First stop....strawberry picking!!  The kids didn't get into it as much as I thought they would.  Bryce and Cody saw a spider and after that it was all downhill with me and MG doing most of the picking.  Despite the spiders and the lack of participation from the under 6 crowd, it was still tons of fun!
Next stop...picnic and exploring.  We found a great spot in a WMA (wilderness management area) right by a river / stream.  We ate, the kids played, and a good time was had by all.  The water was ridiculously cold.  Like ice.  But the boys didn't seem to mind too much.  After eating and playing we drove a little way to a beautiful waterfall where the boys did a little swimming / wading.  When they finally decided they had had enough (I think the blue lips and chattering teeth were a sure sign) we changed clothes and piled back into the car.
Last stop....ice cream!  We found an adorable cafe /dessertery in a small town called Dahlonega and decided to get the kids a treat on the way home.   No better way to end a great trip then with a little ice cream!
