Grandma and Grandpa Peirce visit

It has been a busy and fun few days. Grandma and Grandpa Peirce came to visit. It is always great having family come to see where we live. This visit was especially special because this is only the second time they have seen Everett. We packed a lot of adventures in the time they were here.

The most fun day was when we went to North Georgia. We started our road trip in our awesome Ford explorer rental driving through the small town of Dawsonville. Our first stop was at Amicalola Falls State Park where we saw the beautiful leaves and took a walk that led to the waterfall. The air was crisp and chilly but it was all so perfect. After the falls we fed Everett while Stephen cleaned dog poop off his shoes. Then we stopped by Burt's Pumpkin Farm. We had a fun time there and left with some pumpkin and apple bread and hot apple cider.

Next stop was lunch at Smoke and Gold BBQ in Dahlonega and it was delicious like always. After lunch we walked around the town stopping at the fudge shop and then getting a beautiful Christmas present from Stephen's mom that will be so fun to open and see again Christmas morning. To end the day we stopped at BJ Reese's apple orchard and bought everything apple (apple cider donuts, apple cider, apple pies, and good old apples). The apples in the orchard were mostly rotten by this time of year but Stephen and I went and picked a couple just to say that we did. It was a busy long day and Everett fell right to sleep when we got home.
That was just one of our fun days while Stephen's parents were here. We also celebrated Stephen's birthday by going to a Falcon's game at the Dome. Then Stephen and I had a special birthday dinner date night while the grandparents babysat. It was a great few days with lots of fun family time.
