The morning we arrived it was spent getting the tents and things set up and the camp fire ready for roasting marshmallows later that evening.
Lexie wanted to help by trying to cut the wood for the fire.
Then she wanted to try rubbing sticks together to see if she could get the fire going..... (she saw that on tv somewhere, lol)
But, when that didn't work, she decided that it would become her drum set instead.
Who doesn't love a good toasted marshmallow.....
We walked the Civil War trails and enjoyed nature. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Though there were a couple of interruptions for open houses for school and an appointment for my mouth issue.
It was nice to get out and enjoy nature, the massive tall trees, finding interesting critters.
lizard or salamander?
And I don't know what this interesting creature was, it walked right in our path back to our camp, quick as well, so it was hard to get a good clear picture because it wouldn't sit still. Anyone know what it is?
Waking up to deer outside of the tents in the morning was pretty neat, or spotting them on nature walks.
As long as we kept our distance they didn't seem to mind us there, if we attempted to get any closer, they ran.
Under my link of the things I find interesting you can see more of the beauty of nature that I tried my best to capture.
But it does appear this morning that the kids did get into either poison ivy or oak. Mild enough that we didn't think it needed to be seen by a doctor, just some poison ivy itch medicine and they were feeling better. Elizabeth seemed to have it the worst, but all three kids got it in one form or another.....
