Woke up to promising weather! Everyone got ready then we were off to Helen. Helen is a little German town in the northern hills of Georgia. A great place for Oktober Fest.
Our first stop were the Anna Ruby Falls. You have to hike to them, but the trail is paved and is only about 1/2 mile. Grace made it, no problem. Scott and I hadn't been there since we were dating, so it was nice to go back again with the kids. Thankfully, we didn't see any snakes, just a millipede which we all inspected.
Next, we went back to town to go tubing down the Chattahoochee river (more of a stream in this location). Tubing really is a fun activity. We went on the long run which last about 2 hours. We tied our tubes together and made more of a raft. The 6 of us were probably the largest group going down the river! Thankfully, my in-laws knew to bring the walking sticks as there are many rocks to get hung up on. Logan loved it so much, that after 2 hours he still wanted to go down again!
We did a little shopping in the tourist town. I was sad to find out that our shop that made specialized hand-dipped candles went out of business. We bought our wedding candles there.
