Last weekend Kyle and I went camping together. We have literally been DYING to get out this year, and we finally had the perfect weather to go. Because of prior obligations we didn't get out there Friday night until 2:00 am, but Kyle had already chosen a camping spot and set up our tent earlier in the day. We went right inside and crashed!Saturday morning Kyle and I woke up to Tyson growling OUTSIDE the tent. He had somehow unzipped the inside layer of our tent and crawled underneath the rain fly. We couldn't stop laughing... he was just laying outside growling at strangers that went by. Kyle decided to get up and start cooking pancakes while I kept sleeping! Red Top Mountain is one of our favorite "car camping" spots, where you can bring anything you want and pull your car right up to your tent basically. So we had some delicious pancakes and bacon with orange juice! We took a walk around the campground and spotted a couple packing up their tent. Their site was perfect-- right on the water with no other sites around them. Well as soon as they drove out we moved all of our stuff in!!
Tyson absolutely LOVED it. We would lose sight of him for a second then hear a huge splash in the water. He would just swim in circles or go fetch sticks that had floated into the center. It was hilarious.In the afternoon Kyle and I went mountain biking! It was my first time riding on any kind of gravel, but after a while I got used to it and really enjoyed it. Tyson ran beside us the entire time off leash, and we all had a great time. We're both excited to add mountain biking to our list of activities we can do together!
We read books, talked and sat in the hammock for the rest of the afternoon. After hot dogs & mac and cheese we took another walk around the campground and then turned in early!
Sunday morning we woke up and ate bacon and eggs for breakfast! YUM! We let Tyson play in the water a little more, then it was time to pack up. I had to include this picture of Kyle "bird watching" though. I am forever kidding him because he LOVES to point out birds to me when we are in the car... and I could truly care less. I couldn't stop laughing when he pulled out his binoculars and started looking around the campsite for any kind of bird. I literally was so excited to secretly get it on camera. hahaha
We had such a relaxing time out there together. What a perfect way to spend the weekend!

again i am jealous of the awesome times you and kyle have together. so happy for you guys. i can picture you still doing these things when you are 80 :) well maybe not the mountain biking but everything else :)
looks wonderful! i love it when no one is around and you can keep the dog off the leash. so glad you were able to get away from it all!
Awww, look at your birdwatching husband! He's a cute, little old man... about 60 years early. He'll convert you to birdwatching and then, when y'all retire, you'll take entire trips around the Northeast to follow the Yellow Tailed Swallowtail. Glad you had a nice time! =)
Don't you love those hammocks! We absolutely love ours. Looks like you guys had such a great time! Thanks for sharing!
This looks so nice. Getaways with husbands are the best!
this looks like fun and a beautiful place to go!
What a great weekend adventure! Aren't hammocks the best? We have the same ones!
This looks like the perfect way to get away from it all and relax. Hope Daddy and I aren't too old to one day camp again...we have some funny, wonderful memories of family times together camping. So glad you, Kyle, and Tyson love it so much.
Loved these pictures and wish we could've joined you!!! Camping is always so relaxing just to be surrounded by God's creation.
PS. Bring the Tonka maker with you next time!!!
