This October our homegroup organized a group trip to North Georgia to hang out and have some fun with our families. Steve and I have been in the same homegroup for almost 12 years. We all met doing the Crown bible study and got along so well that we have stuck together ever since. Their friendships are one of my most cherished blessings.
Amy found an awesome house in Lavonia, Georgia that was perfect for our six families.
We had 12 adults and 16 children ranging in age from 4 months to 12 years old. The house had 7 bedrooms and we stashed the kids in the two lofts.We were there for 5 nights and the best part for me what that we stayed at the house the entire time except for one day trip to Tallulah Gorge, Taccoa Falls and the Dillard House. It actually felt like a really restful vacation. The kids all had a blast playing I the huge backyard, on the lake, in the clay, collecting bugs and lizards, making fairy houses, swinging on the rope swing, playing games, boating, hiking, geocaching and so much more. Just writing about it makes me what to go back as soon as possible. It really was heaven!
I have so many pictures from this amazing trip, but here are few of my favorites.

Playing in the fall leaves.. our lazy schedule gave us plenty of time to enjoy these kinds of simple pleasures with the kids.
