Fall Camping 2011

With the 4 day holiday weekend, we decided to get a quick camping trip in. Yep it was quick, one night, but it was a lot of fun. We invited another family to come, but the dad had to work, so we offered to bring their two oldest with us. It sure helps to have friends for our kids to keep them busy. I had games and hiking on the agenda, but with set up and foil dinners on the menu, we didn't do to many things. The kids actually loved just exploring and hanging out, so I didn't feel too guilty.

We did get some roasting smores in on the night. But as you can see our kids got goofy and started roasting the cookies...and torching the mallows...oh well.

Ammon loved the space to look for bugs and acorns. Don't exactly understand his fascinations with acorns, but it kept him hunting.

And yes, to settle the age old question if boys or girls have life a bit easier...this pictures sums it up...BTW he is nicknamed 'Cute Buns' because he is always dropping his pants in the most random places...

This would be another picture that describes our trip...the dirt didn't stop there...he had wet shoes and wet pants up to his knees...guess they found a creek.

The all loved to explore around the ponds. I wanted to hike around the Chattahoochee, but there was a big cross country race going on in that part of the park. We love the MacIntosh Reserve...45 mins away, next to the river, and wood is provided. But most of all, I just love the outdoors, and camping gives me that breath of fresh air!
