Camping or Birthday #6

Two weekends ago (This is the 1st time I've had time to blog it! He, he, he) we went camping in Ft Mountain, GA. [Yeah, ok Scott being from the Rockies, they're molehills to ya - but they're still beautiful!!! GRIN]











I tell ya we had the most perfect weekend for camping. During the day it was EXTREMELY comfortable, and a night a campfire was just the ticket.












We had so much fun hiking around, finding some Geocaches, eating some deliciously made meals, playing with the kids, sneaking in a nap, taking some pictures, taking in the views from various places, enjoying the company and the pleasant conversation. Man it was awesome!











Snuggled as two bugs in a rug! :)


















Part of the reason we went camping is because it was Joelle's wish for her 6th birthday to go camping, and what a fun time we had. We took some gifts with us, left some at home for later. We made her a simple Cupcake Birthday cake that all enjoyed. (Had a terrible time keeping the b-day candles lit though with the breeze!) It was awesome!




Friday evening as we sat around the fire singing songs, a 'fellow' camper brought us what he called a Canadian Log. (We had a friend with us who is Canadian and she'd never heard of this before.) But the cool thing was, you threw this Canadian Log in the fire and it would burn all sorts of interesting colors, here in the pic you can see green and some blue. It was truly awesome.


I can't wait for the next camp trip - Mid Aug in the Boundary waters of Minnesota and Canada. Woo hoooo!
