Let's Go Camping!

On Memorial Day weekend, we loaded up the van and we moved to Beverly... oh, wait, that's not right. We actually visited Tyler State Park. If you have never been, I HIGHLY recommend it!

We met our friends, Megan and Scyler Hurd and their 3 girls, at the campsite. We were supposed to be leaving earlier in the day but that didn't happen so we didn't get to the park until after dark. Thankfully they came and help us put our tent up! I have to admit that I had a difficult time sleeping that night since we got there after dark and I couldn't see what was around us.

Here are a few pics of our camp out!

Rick had to run up to the rangers office to get us registered Saturday morning (since it was so late Friday night when we arrived) so Scyler was helping fix breakfast. (I LOVE our new red Coleman camp stove, BTW!)

Rick, cleaning up after breakfast...


The girls in front of our tent... I so enjoyed all of the trees around us!


Home Sweet Home for the Hurds....look how organized and clean it is! LOL


After our breakfast Saturday morning we went for a walk...on our way we found this rope swing and Megan decided to try it out! Scyler took a swing on it too...guess Rick and I were too afraid!


We also found this place next to the lake and Rick decided to preach a quick sermon on our walk. (tee hee)


Photo op of a few of the girls (Hannah, Haylee and Sara)


Another photo op...they were looking at the fish under the bridge.

Hannah fishing at the lake. They didn't catch anything but had a ball anyway!


The Hurd's fishing...


Haylee playing Hide-n-Seek at our camp site.


Getting ready to make some s'mores... a MUST on any camp-out!


Before we left Tyler State Park we found a nature trail to hike and we also collected any trash we could find. (Rick's idea... he's good like that!)


HAVE to have a picture at the park sign! These cute girls are great friends....love it!


We DEFINITELY will! (when it gets a little cooler out!)
