Father's Day Celebrations

Since we really didn't do anything for Stephen's birthday we decided to make it a whole weekend of celebrations for Father's Day. Stephen wanted to go on a hike. So we found a fun place not too far away that was simply the most beautiful retreat from the city. It was just what we needed.

In the northeast corner of Georgia, just on the boarder next to South Carolina is Talullah Falls. We thought it would be fun to go and explore this state park and see a few water falls. After going on a few trails and exploring the hills of North Georgia, I definitely think I've fallen in love with the beauty of this part of the country. It was simply breathtaking and a spectacular canyon with lots of easy trails and overlooks. Then Stephen decided to be adventurous and take Andrew by himself down 330 steps and across the suspension bridge that connects both sides of the gorge. He was brave...especially to take an extra 35 lbs on his back.







Then we decided to hit up a little mom and pop BBQ joint close by. Living in Texas has made us both huge BBQ fans. Both Stephen and I love meat and I don't think I'd ever get tired of BBQ. Well, we tried to do some reasearch and  we think we found a favorite! 

Here's Stephen in mid-sentence with his first bite of his ribs. Just imagine him saying "oh man....these are A-Maz-Ing!" The look on his face is priceless. 

Georgia proved us once again.  When we were strolling through Target afterwards we found some of this Texas delicacy! We had to stalk up although it's quite a bit more expensive then what we would pay in Texas. It was well worth it!  


Sunday was just the icing on the cake...sleeping in. Skyping with both sides of the family and Andrew giving daddy a little homemade gift! I sure am grateful for such a wonderful husband who puts his family first. He is an amazing dad to Andrew and will be to our little girls. Andrew looks up to him so much and asks multiple times a day if we can go to work to be with daddy. He adores his dad and so do I.
Happy Father's Day Stephen!
