My Annual Mother/Daughter Retreat

Every year about this time ( beginning of November) My mom and her daughters (& d-in-law) head up to Gods country..... the North Georgia Mountains of course. Here are some pictures of this years 10th annual Mother-Daughter retreat - Amicalola Falls State Park






Well we start off with a cabin in a State park:






This is the first year we got snow...if you can call it that. Still! It was pretty exciting.





Add some comfy, and sometime silly clothes..
















Only nursing babies are allowed. This little booger is so cute!









Start a roaring fire.... this one roared through a tube... cool pic though huh?










Do some knitting and crocheting.
Amy has been working on hers for about 5 or more years.... Hey its tradition













Put together an annoying puzzle or two.













Play some games ..... in our comfy clothes of course! Sometimes laughing till we cry.











Sometimes we take hikes... This year only Mary and I did...












Why take all those steps?
Those 605 steps to be exact?













Well not only to shake off the cabin fever, but to see this up close.....














Or to take cool pictures like these!
























And when you reach the top, see sights like this!



Even though I could have driven the car to the parking lot and seen this... but hey wheres the burning lungs, weak knees, trembling thighs, frozen snot running down your face fun in that!





We take some pictures for our Myspace and Facebook. This one was me resting after our lung burning hike up the mountain.















Sometimes we break some rules together!










Breakin the law!










And are sorry for it when we lose our car keys on the other side of the fence.....under some leaves... with my lip balm.














Then at the end of the trip we take a nice group shot. Thankfully this year I had my tripod and remote. Several years we have had to settle with strangers taking our pics and out of focus shots. I chose to add this one because I was being silly and everyone has a genuine smile on their faces, except the baby who could care less.




The End
