Moments

Cam teases me about taking pictures, but this is why I do it. This moment touched me when I saw it, and I'm so glad I captured it. Father and son, roasting hot dogs over a campfire and talking about life.

Family Camping Part 2

Dry Falls - Nantahala National Forest

"I want to go down there!"

The perfect Emmett nook

E covered his ears under the falls. Susie loved it.

The dogs loved going on a hike.

Bridal Veil Falls

Gem Mine!

Emmett entertained Susie while we loaded up the site. I love hearing their giggles.

Scary swinging bridge.

Beautiful foggy day

On the bridge

Family Camping part 1

Some obligations cleared up and we had a free weekend. Cam got Friday off and we took off for the KOA in Murphy, NC. Camping with two small kids and two dogs is a little chaotic. Especially when it pours the first night. We had to move the tent and rearrange our campsite, but the rain finally tapered off and we had a great weekend.

Hanging out under the cover until the rain stopped.

Soooo much water.

The kids had a blast playing in the cab of the truck while we moved the tent. Check out Curly Sue!

Once the rain stopped, E enjoyed some "fishing"

Playing in the mud is a must!

We made a great stew in the dutch oven

We had some visitors to our campsite. You can see how our campsite was right on the river.

Swimming fun! We didn't get to go swimming at all this summer, so I was proud that he actually floated by himself a bit.

This one LOVES the water.

E would fall asleep on the air mattress with a flashlight. And Special Blankie, of course.
