Fall Camping - Huntsville

The weather was perfect for the fall camping trip we took this past weekend. The high on Saturday was 87, just warm enough for swimming! The low at night was 57, perfect for sleeping.

The lake was a little cold for the kids at first.

 Our kids were the only ones in the lake at first, but all of the rest soon followed suit.

We have our spring camping trip booked, but I am looking to fit an extended camping trip in between now and then...

Huntsville State Park

We had a great trip to Huntsville State Park this weekend, a place I use to go as a child. It was perfect timing, not too hot for camping, but hot enough to swim. Unfortunately, the season of extreme heat is about to be upon us.

Whenever we're hiking and someone starts to whine or say they're tired, I ask for silly faces and all is better....at least for a few minutes.

I could do this too when I was seventeen.

I am happy to say that i believe my girls to be natural born campers!

We caught this turtle trying to sneak across the trail. Normally my kids are pretty bad at creeping up on things, but this turtle was nice enough to allow them a close up look.
