Oak Mountain has a great petting zoo!
Taking a break from the hike.Enjoying a Nathan's hot dog!
I LOVE that Josh likes cooking while we are camping. I guess its different because we are outside. And it's not just hot dogs. We had grilled chicken with potatoes, onions and squash! Yum. Breakfast was eggs, biscuits (toaster oven), and bacon. We don't eat this good from our kitchen at home!
Yea! I am excited today. Our best friends from college are coming to spend the night with us. They have two girls, ages 6 and 4, and my kids love them! We only see them two or three times a year. They were supposed to go camping with us and one of the girls got sick.
Speaking of camping, I thought it was high time I changed the perception of my husband that I left on my last blog! So here are a few pictures of him being what he really is. A hunky outdoors man! Not a floppy hat model.
We had a great time camping. We went to Oak Mountain and stayed three nights in our pop up camper (which has an air conditioner that will run you out of there!) We spend the early mornings hiking. Although it was still quite warm, the kids did pretty good. But Carson always ended up on Josh's shoulders. The hotter part of the days was spent at the lake. We rented a paddle boat and let the kids jump off in the lake. Of course they loved that! The main lake was very crowded, so we stayed at the small beach by the campground the most. Landy met some friends. Interestingly, we met people from Ohio and even Kenya! You definitely see "all kinds" there. Even scary little kids with Mohawks that turn their eyelids inside out. You should have seen the look on Landy's face when he tapped her on her shoulder. I wish I had a picture. Priceless.
