Camping 2007

We have found our new favorite thing to do - camping!

We camped at Tom Steed Lake, Lake Foss, and Lake Murray.

Lilly caught her first fish in Tom Steed Lake! Way to Go Lillian!!!

We camp with a tent. I will sleep in a tent, but I will NOT sleep on the ground. So we got 2 king size inflatable air mattresses. Then we got a tent large enough to hold 2 king size mattresses!

We cook with a Coleman stove. (Actually, there is no 'we cook' it should read 'Tim cooks')

Furthermore, Tim does an awesome job of making amazing meals at our camp sites.



This is a picture of Tim, Lillian, and Joshua at Tucker Tower overlooking Lake Murray.

The flowers and plants going up to Tucker Tower were a sight to see! However, going into Tucker Tower with its Air Conditioning in August was the best!!!

We could see Tucker Tower from our camp site. Our tent opened to a direct view of it.

BTW, We graded each camp site along the way. We scored Tom Steed an A-, Foss a D-, and Murray a B+.

Lilly enjoyed swimming down under the water to find big rocks and swim up with them. She was diving in 8-10 feet of water.

She must have pulled up 5 rocks so big you had to hold with 2 hands! It sure made her a better swimmer.
Notice Tucker Tower in the distance.

Part of the reason we bought a digital camera is for camping pics!!!!
