Weekend in the Woods

We were lucky enough to join the Cole family this weekend at Burge Plantation.  It was such a treat to be in this relaxing and peaceful place with great friends.  It was just about an hour outside of Atlanta, but we felt like we were a world away.  It stormed on our way there, but after about an hour it cleared up enough for us to explore.  We went to the skeet shooting course and played on the bocce ball court.  We saw lots of hunting dogs, beautiful horses and even a couple of mules.  The cabin was gorgeous and sat right on 2 ponds.  There was a great fire pit too!  We explored a lot and there were too many photo opportunities to pass up (as you can see).  The kids were great – other than not being sure about sleeping in a new “scary” (Riley’s new word of the week) place.  Thank you Coles for the very generous invitation!  It was a great weekend!

So many great things to point out!
 
Avery LOVES to hold hands! 
It’s great that she is both Riley AND Ryan’s friend!
 
Sweet “Baby” Margaret!
  
Horses – Up Close & Personal!
 


They were even a little “scary”!

They loved going over the bridge!  Mama wasn’t so excited about being over the water without any rails




The awesome fire pit! 


Lots of RUNNING!
