Suwannee River Camping Rain-out!


Time for a camping trip!... Too bad it was an 80% chance of rain.
We were optimistic enough to give it a shot.
Rain or shine... and it did both...
we were gonna have fun... and we did!



It turned out to be a nice campsite. We had never been to this State Park before. It was tough finding a campsite anywhere. They were all booked up. The mosquitoes were bad enough to carry us away... but we managed just fine.


"Anybody up for a hike?"


The water was beautiful!


"It was so much fun getting some fresh air...
that is...
until 2 min. after this photo
when we were greeted by a coral snake.
I hate snakes... especially poisonous ones.


Time for some games! I kept my feet up off the ground just in case more snakes decided to visit. Kev enjoyed our only campfire... and burning everything in site. Megan went to sleep pretty good. The camper was close quarters... but turned out to be just the right size. She didn't seem to be bothered by us.


The water was really peaceful...
even if we had to share it with a few hundred blood sucking mosquitoes.



The trail was a little bumpy... daddy tried to pull her stroller over the big roots... and scared her. Big tears... until he picked her up... its a lot more fun in daddy's arms!
"Bounce me again Daddy"



We look forward to lots of camping with this little one. It was a quick walk... but nice getting out.



Megan had the real camp setup. She had a ball with all of her toys... inside and out.


She wins the cutest camper award!


The rain forecast was most definitely right. It rained... and rained... Kev couldn't light a fire... so the burgers were cooked on the small gas grill. He had to squat on the bench... our nice setup got flooded! What a mess. We had to laugh.


Yummy! The burgers were awesome.
All in all... the weekend was perfect... we got to relax.
We got everything we could out of a wet weekend in the woods.


"Yup, it's still raining!"


It's never too early to learn how to play Yahtzee!
