Camping 2010

For Brodey's 6th birthday ALL he wanted to do was go camping. Overnight. In a tent. And he wanted ALL of us to be there.

Uncle Myles knew the PERFECT spot to take us for the kids first camping experience. A place you can ONLY get to by boat. A few nights before our camping trip he went out there to scope out the spot.... and ended up almost sinking the boat when he hit a peninsula.. putting a HUGE whole in the bottom of the boat. Luckily he knows people and was able to get it fixed in time for Saturday.




We all met up at the lake early Saturday morning to set off on our adventure. First we loaded the boat with a few essentials... and Myles showed us his chipped tooth from his boating "indecent".

Luckily she was still able to float, even with all our gear and newly welded hull.
Myles and Jeff took all the "gear" out to the campsite while the rest of us waited at the marina.



Pile of "gear" at the campsite. My favorites are the 2 pizza boxes on top of the pile and the squished half roll of toilet paper in the middle.
We stayed ONE night.
The weather was beautiful and this campsite was AWESOME! The kids and dogs had a great time playing in the mud and swimming. (Swimming in October... GA weather is so weird.)
Lyla is suddenly afraid of dogs, so she had a few rough moments anytime one of them came near her... but for the most part I think she enjoyed her first camping trip.


Lyla definitely enjoyed fishing with Uncle Travis
Lucy.. 6 months old and camping in a tent! She was a trouper and a great camper.

Beautiful beautiful campsite



Happy 6th birthday big Brodey!

Dazed by the fire


Myles built this HUGE fire pit on a previous camping trip and was happy to see it was still there. Brodey's FAVORITE part of the trip was the huge fire they built in it.

Cooper, Brodey and Brock all shared this little blue tent. They had so much fun and did so great at night. None of them were scared. My favorite part of the trip was listening to the three of them laughing as they fell asleep AND when they woke up.

We had SO MUCH fun... thanks Lyndsay, Travis, Cooper and Myles for making it so fun!
