Fun with Family and Friends in Georgia...

This is one of my most favorite houses tucked away on a back street in Clarkesville, my home town.



This is Lydia playing in the leaves with my dear friend Stephanie's little girl, Madeline. 


Fall festival with my brother's family...that's my sweet niece, Kate, in the middle with my oldest son, Luke.

These are our sweet friends, Baylor and Landry, who also have a house on the same street as ours in Georgia.  You'd love their home...I tried to capture it all lit up on Halloween!
Lydia learning to swing all by herself at Pitts Park, a beautiful old building that I'm sure has a story, and my dear friend, Stephanie, who met us at the park with her kids for hours of playing!
A great shop in downtown Clarkesville that you'd love!



My friend, Cat, who is a friend from my high school days with her little boy and her beautiful front porch!  Our houses in Georgia are a few doors down from one another... 
Our view from the front porch of the cabin that we stay in when we go home

This is us trick or treating in our old neighborhood.

 We're back from our trip seeing family and friends in Georgia.
The leaves were perfectly Fall....
Mom's meals were perfectly delicious....
Trick or Treating in our old neighborhood was perfectly fun...
{The scary guy in the collage is our former neighbor and that's his spooky grave yard!}

Hubby zip lined with his buddies from college....
Kiddos played on every square inch of my parents land with their cousins...
I had sweet time with a handful of friends and their kids....
We ate until I thought we'd explode.
I drank more coffee in six days than I will the rest of this year.
We went to a Fall festival with my brother and his crew.
The kids literally got on and off the bungi jump thingy at least twelve times each.
{I'm pretty sure they were ready to see us go}
Hubby and I talked each way for nine hours and pretty much covered every subject under the sun.
{and we enjoyed every minute of it}

It was a wonderful trip seeing all the people and places that we love so much!
We got back to Orlando to crisp, cool weather....
and we're so grateful for it!

I missed all of you while I was gone....
Hope you're having a great weekend!
