Camping!

We went camping at Palmetto State Park last weekend.  It is a beautiful place and we all had a great time.  Our air mattress didn't hold air the first night and it was in the mid 30's so needless to say that was a LONG night!  I as able to get the mattress fixed the next day and it was a great trip after that.  We had our largest group to date- 9 families joined us!  We went hiking, fishing, canoeing, playing in the dirt and snake watching.  We even managed a crawfish boil while we were there. Another great camping trip- may be a last for a while.
Ben and Koen had boats that we tied string to, they would launch them and reel them back in (except when they let go of the string and we had to find creative ways to rescue the boats- again and again).
 Brady and Daddy hanging out on the dock.
 Brady and Harlow "digging for smoke" not sure exactly what that means but they were having fun!
 Hiking!


 Snakes- can you see it (or them- I think it is too big to be one snake but we only saw one head).  Apparently Andy was fishing here for a long time before someone noticed his little friend in the tree.
 Purging the crawfish- the kids were very interested until it came time to eat them! Hotdogs and hamburgers for them!
 Hadley and Macy even got to go with us and I was amazed how good they were!  The slept in the tent with us and didn't bark or howl with all the strange forrest sounds at night.  They slept for a long time when we got back!
 Brady loved "fishing" with his lighting McQueen fishing pole.  It was a rubber tire attached to the end so no one gets hooked.  He could cast it all the way across the pond!

 Brady's grumpy face because he didn't want his picture taken- never stopped me before B!!
