We set out on the Monday after 4th of July for Big Canoe--a place I had heard about from a friend and read about online. In this magical place called Big Canoe (just an hour outside of Atlanta), you could frolick at their swim club and nearby lake for just $5. Well, after getting Leo and ourselves all ready for a day of water fun, we made the drive out there only to learn that Big Canoe is actually a private residential community. And they don't let just any old riff raff in--not even if you slip the people at the gate $5.
So after some pouting on my part, we ended up in another town, Dahlonega (Duh-lawn-a-guh), known as the site of the first American Gold Rush. In Little D, you don't need a membership. So we just strolled around their town square, sipped some wine, played in their semi-park and had a nice little lunch. Here are some pics from our "lemons to lemonade" day of fun (in reverse order because that's how I posted them and I don't feel like changing them all around)!

Note for Safety Dave and Aunt Laura: I know you guys have perfected the "arm way out self-portrait" but it's much tougher with three people. You'll see!

At least Leo is too young to be embarrassed by his dorky parents! :-)
And too young to be disappointed when our first plans fall through! We're glad we didn't have to hear, "But I wanted to go to Big Canoe!! You promised!"
