beautiful georgia mountains

in mid-july we headed to helen, georgia for a week. helen is a small german town in the georgia mountains. we had a great time relaxing, enjoying the sights and spending time with family. eric and i even got a chance to go tubing down the chattahoochee river - a must do whenever you're in helen!

downtown helen georgia.

at fred's. the best place to get boiled peanuts! oh, and peach ice slushees too!

just takin' a dip in the pool to cool off from the georgia heat.

way down yonder on the chattahoochee...

(see the people in the pink tubes in the background? this is what we did for two hours one morning).

ella and luke hammin' it up at dinner.

anna and luke feeling the sand between their fingers - this was luke's first time in the sand!

needing to cool off yet again!
