Stone Mountain Camping
We went camping this past weekend at Stone Mountain Park. A few weeks ago we got a GREAT deal on a pop-up camper. So we gave it a little TLC and took it out for the trip this weekend. It did great!! And boy am I glad we were up off the ground after the torential down pours came on Saturday...good grief!
The girls and I did some swimming on Saturday morning (in the rain), we were invaded by a HUGE group of teenagers, apparently all camping as well. They were quite loud and wild.
High noon came--the camp ground was making homemake ice cream, YUMMY! the girls got to help "turn" the ice cream. It was good--nothing like having Dessert first :)
Josh got back from work shortl after 2:00 we showered and headed over to the park only to spend the whole time in a store trying to stay dry and away from the Thunder and Lightening....We had to say "No" a million times to the hopefuly purchases of the girls. That was rough. Finally the rain ended and Madelyn climbed the rock wall. (Josh has a picture of his phone--I;ll get that posted) She did good. I think she is looking forward to doing it again.
Normally we would go see the laser Show on Saturday nights when we camped, but we were just all so tired. So we played some games, watched a movie and called it a night. I was glad we did. The girls were super tired.
Sunday-was pack up day. Took longer than we expected and we slept a whole lot longer than we expected. Oh well.
Once we got home, we spent some time un pack, and resetting up things just so we could clean it from the rain\mud from the weekend.
I am so glad that we are building such a great family tradition. Camping was not a family tradition to either of us. I am glad this is a new tradition we are starting and continue doing till the girls are older and they have families of their own and can continue the tradition. Such great family experiences and quiet times to really get away from the hustle of everyday chores and just BE and listen, and love and create new memories. We are blessed to be able to do this.
Our next camping trip is in 2 weeks. We meet up with My dad & stepmom and sister at Jordan Lake, NC. This will be a new camping place for us. We can't wait!!
LOL--never thought I would say that I LOVE camping. Although I can't wait until I can buy one of those "homes on wheels" RV's :o) That would better suit my "girly" needs of showering bug free and flip flop free!!
Stay tuned for camping pictures from this past weekend and plans for the next trip!

Carrie Underwood\Keith Urban Concert
I have about a gazillion pictures on my phone that I forget I take. Here are some from the Carrie Underwood\Keith Urban Concert.
Santa gave us tickets at Christmas for Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. My mom & I took Madelyn and Lilly mainly to see Carrie Underwood (they love her!) and Keith was a good added bonus for us too. Unfortunately we (the girls) couldn't last till the end of the concert. We finally gave up and left aroudn 11:30.
Here are the girls w\ the posters they made for Carrie Underwood:

Cubbie AWANA Awards
I just realized that I didn't post anything from Lilly's AWANA cubbies awards. She received her first book award, a little cubbie bear, for completing her first year book.
Here is a picture of her w\ her class and Cubbie Bear:
(This picture is really grainy, so I had to "point" Lilly out! Also I might point out that it also makes it look like an 80-something picture too!)

The "Zone"
Sunday we took the girls bowling at Brunswick Zone in Lawrenceville (thanks to a coupon for 2 hours FREE bowling!) This was Lilly's first time bowling. Madelyn bowled with a 7# ball and Lilly with and 8#er. Here are a few pictures from the afternoon.
Madelyn ready to the let the ball loose...Madelyn bowled a 78
Daddy helping Lilly bowl...She broke 100 in her first game!(I am sure daddy helping her had NOTHING to do with it!! HA)
