A Campin' We Will Go

Jason and I took Joshua, Abby Kate and Jack camping this past week. We camped at Cages Bend on the Old Hickory Lake in Tennessee. The weather was perfect and the trees were gorgeous! We had such a great time just being together. The kids absolutely LOVED it! Here are some pictures from our camping trip.

Joshua and Abby Kate fishing
Abby Kate is fishing with her princess pole and Joshua with his Lightning McQueen fishing pole. The kids loved fishing and got the casting part down really quickly. We also fed a couple of ducks with our bread later that afternoon.



My cousin, Jessica, got married on Saturday. Jason performed the ceremony and afterward we attended the reception at the Gaylord Springs Golf Links. The reception was so wonderful and we truly had a great time.

You guys got some great pictures. It looks like you had fun. I think you're much more brave that I would be. I just wanted you to know that we missed you last night. Hope you're feeling better today.

Sunny, brings back a lot of memories. May absolutely loved to go camping. Still does. I can smell the fire. That is half the fun is having a campfire. Glad you all are making such wonderful memories.
