A Weekend Mountain Trip


We took a brief trip with my sister and family to their cabin
in Cleveland, Georgia. 


It was the shortest and most fun trip
we have taken in awhile.


The girls (me, my niece, and my sister)
took a little walk around Mountain Lake Resorts.

We stayed in Timber Creek cabins, 
which was far from a resort, 
but we felt like were on a youth retreat or at summer camp.


I found another barn to photograph.
While I was taking a picture, a donkey arrived on the scene.

We went down by the creek and I almost fell in trying to get
a picture of us sitting on a rock.

We laughed until we cried.

My niece says I'm as crazy as her mama.
That's a compliment.

We rode paddle boats and I almost
turned the boat over and once again almost fell in.

Even my niece, got in on that one.

We played putt-putt, ate ice cream, fished
and played BINGO.

I wish my pictures would download,
but since they don't,
you'll just have to imagine the fun we had.

The babies and children didn't go.
I thought about them and considered how
much they would enjoy the boats and fishing,
but it was good not to worry about their safety
and good not to have to care for anyone else.

It was a fun time enjoyed by everyone.
