Floating down the Hooch!

On our trip to Georgia this month we had so much fun! We did a lot of things that we hadn't done before and one of them was driving up to Helen, GA to go tubing down the Chattahooche River. We did it on Monday morning before Ryan flew back home. We took both girls and they each had a wonderful time! Avery got her own float and happily sat in it the whole ride - which took us about 1 1/2 hours. Ryan and Avery hooked their tubes together and floated down the river side by side. They were so cute! My mom and I took turns holding Riley in our tubes. She was so great! It was a beautiful day and I am so thankful that we got to spend the day together with our family...making sweet memories!
P.S. I have to give a special shout out to our friends Matt & Christie. They live about 10 minutes away from Helen and came up to see us for a little bit before we went tubing. They have a newborn baby named Abigail and a 5 year old named Andrew. Our camera battery died and Christie took these pictures for us. They even knew of a great place to see us as we were on the river and stopped to take some more pics of us in motion! YAY! You know me and pictures...I was so glad that she captured this memory for us! Thanks girl!
