Here are a few pictures of our wonderful, family reconnection with no distractions and just pure quality time camping trip at Bear Creek State Park just us 4 (until next year that it). We always love camping with friends, but usually like to take at least 1 trip each year just us. We used to go to this campground before kids and it's the first time we've taken them here. It has a fresh water lake to swim in which is always the best and reminds us of back home. Alayna is quite the little camper girl. She fit right into the environment. I didn't get a picture of it, but one time she had the baseball hat on backwards, dirty face and sweaty little curls hanging out. It was quite the site. Her only issue was falling asleep in the tent which resulted in 20 minutes of screaming each night until she wore herself out until we could lay with her and she would be still and then fall asleep with one of us. But once she was out, she was out and both of them slept until 7:00-8:00 each day which was great! Of course there was fishing and hiking too. Alayna kept right up with out little hike, although we didn't push it and go very far, but loved the exploring none the less. Our favorite things were sitting around the campfire at night and relaxing by the lake during the day. It was so peaceful with all of the surroundings. It was a little on the warm side but nothing unbearable and are looking forward to going in the fall once the crisp cool weather sets in.
Impatiently waiting to go fishing
Just me and my dad (I love that book by Mercer Mayer)
"Momma, I'm gonna sling you!"
Our little boat ride in the old fashioned "johnny boat" We did get an electric motor though. Definitely no water skiing on the back of that thing.
Preparing to go
Alayna kept saying "want dis boat mommy, k"
Seeing if anything is biting
Playing with the fire is the best
One tired boy
One tired baby
Out on the peaceful lake
Trying to be quiet and wait for the fish....no bites though.
Here I come mommy
Turtle time
Bathing Beauty....she loved just hanging by the shore. It's less stressful for her than the beach....no waves to worry about.

Ok, just so you all know...my sister is a recovering alcoholic and she is trying to corupt me to drink too. I know lyn...camping without beer?....no fun. HA! Just messing with you!!
My sister started my drinking habits at the ripe age of 12!!! She told me oh just take a sip and I haven't stopped since!!!IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!!
Okay, so after the log cabin dream home comment last night, I had to come back and comment on this trip. Ya'll are the consummate campers, adn when we attempt it as a family for only a second time this Fall, we'll have to make sure that ya'll are free for the weekend. Gotta always surround yourself with the best and most knowledgeable, right?! That and people who have seen you with no make-up and love you just the same!!
