Our camping adventure...

This post is LONG overdue ... I found our pictures from camping and realized that I had wanted to blog about our adventure but then life got busy and I forgot. Sorry for the 6 week delay...

For the second year in a row, we have gone camping over Labor Day weekend with friends at Davidson River campground in Pisgah National Forest. We discovered last year that we LOVED camping as a family and wanted to make it an annual event. So this year we got a bigger campsite and camped with some of our best friends for four days and nights. We had 10 adults and 7 kiddies (all age 4 and under) on our campsite. Each day was FULL of excitement, laughter, good food, and just a little bit of crying...I mean with 7 kiddies, one of them is bound to be unhappy right?!?



We slept in a tent, roasted marshmellows by the fire, and even enjoyed a little adult time playing games at night once all of the kiddies went to sleep. We also went to SLIDING ROCK and both of my brave and daring kiddies went down the cold, wet rock with daddy! Leah liked it so much that she went down at least a dozen times with Todd before he was worn out! On another day, we went hiking and saw a beautiful waterfall! Jay Tyler absolutely LOVED the whole camping experience. He was right by daddy's side while Todd was building camp fires, cooking, or exploring nature. We are already looking forward to our camping adventure next year...with more kiddies in tow:)
