We booked a timeshare week at Apple Mountain Resort near Clarkesville, GA some time ago. A year ago we visited the place with the Masons. Since Aaron and Maeve both had some time off on both sides of the weekend we booked it for this week. It is a very kid/family friendly place although in need of some sprucing up. The weather was perfect and we did a lot of things.
 |
| We stopped at a park in Anderson, SC for lunch and a little relaxation. |
 |
| The girls had fun |
 |
| Putt putt golf was free at the resort and we took advantage of it with the kids. |
 |
| The adults enjoyed it, too |
 |
| There is a nice playscape on the grounds and... |
 |
| various sports like tetherball |
 |
| We did some reading and iPad |
 |
| Grandma Rose and Avery listen to Kendall read her book |
 |
| The girls listened to Maeve read, too |
 |
| Our visit to Babyland General was a big hit |
 |
| Every hour they have a birth of a Cabbage Patch doll |
 |
| It's one big bunch of dolls |
 |
| So many dolls, so hard to choose |
 |
| They let the children handle and carry around the dolls |
 |
| Avery loved to cart her doll around in the carriage |
 |
| Kendall and Avery with their new Cabbage Patch dolls |
 |
| They had hams in the place, too |
 |
| We ate... |
 |
| read more books... |
 |
| played video games... |
 |
| and visited Helen, GA for their Oktoberfest. |
 |
| We had ice cream |
 |
| We went to the festival building for food and music |
 |
| Kendall pretended her spoon was a musical instrument |
 |
| The festival hall with the German band |
 |
| Proof we were there and... |
 |
| Maeve and Aaron got in the act, too. |
 |
| Back at Apple Mountain the girls enjoyed a pig race |
 |
| Shoulder rides were fun |
 |
| Goats on the Roof may become a tradition |
 |
| The goat awaits his treat |
 |
| This really is the roof of the building |
 |
| A few goats |
 |
| We drove on to Clayton, GA and the girls got some rabbit ears |
 |
| We rested after some long days |
 |
| On the way home we stopped in Clemson and the Old Stone Church |
 |
| There was a cemetary at the Old Stone Church with many confederate soldiers buried. |
 |
| The monument to the confederate soldiers |
 |
| A larger view of the church |
 |
| A park in Clemsom with the playground in Clemson colors. |
 |
| Our last stop was in Greenwood where we saw they dyed the fountain pink! |
