Weekend Camping Trip

4 Comments

Those of you who know me well know that I love camping. I jump at any chance we get to go. Ben was more than accommodating when I asked if we could go over memorial weekend. We decided to head towards West Virginia and camp at the George Washington Forest. We lucked out and got a great spot. It was secluded and away from all the other campers. It was also near a lake with a little beach area. Talk about heaven-camping and the beach! We all had a great time and can’t wait to go camping again!

Our perfect spot. p.s. I'm really amazed that everything fits in our prius.

Hallie was so excited to go on a hike and insisted she be in the lead.

Kyle was happy to follow along behind.

On Saturday we spent the day at the beach. The water was full of tadpoles which fascinated the kids. Hallie was able to catch several of them and trap them in the moat around her castle.
