Football and Changing Leaves

We love BYU football and whenever they play somewhere reasonably close we try to catch a game. This year they played Georgia Tech in Atlanta. It was an opportunity we couldn't pass up especially because our good friends the Castletons live there!

We left late Thursday night and got there around midnight. The next morning we woke up and took a drive to the Chattahoochee National forest to hike to Anna Ruby falls. The leaves were changing colors, it felt like fall and it was just past the cutest little German town of Helen, Georgia. The hike was pleasant and the girls had a ball. Running up and down the trail and trying to catch falling leaves. We grabbed some German pastries and brats on our way back to town. It was a perfect day!

The next day the Castleton's had a tailgate party, the kids played and we headed to the game. The kids had Pom pins in tow and were decked out in BYU garb. It was a great game and we actually won!

After the game we said goodbye to our short little jaunt and headed home. It was such a fabulous trip and it really made it feel like fall for me.

It looks like it was a great getaway. All of the kids look darling and that hike with the changing leaves sounds awesome.
