Happy Campers

Tom and I took Lilly on her first camping trip this Labor Day weekend. We camped on Kerr Lake, once of the largest lakes in the southeast, with 50,000 acres of water and 850 miles of shoreline stretching from North Carolina into Virginia. The drive from Durham is about 40 minutes. The days were sunny and gorgeous, but we were delighted that our ugly lil' pop-up camper was equipped with air-conditioning!

Knowing that we were going boating, Tom and I had to have a "practice session" with Lilly's new infant life vest! She's obviously not very happy with the cold pool water in this picture! (and the people trying to relax at the pool loved us!)

Getting used to it........?



I bet those cheeks would keep her afloat!



Daddy, Lilly and the Jayco pop-up! We consider ourselves to be high-class-white-trash in this beauty! LOL!



Daddy and Lilly resting....Tom does all of the work when we go camping. My friends can't believe that I like camping (as opposed to a spa visit), but I enjoy it! Tom plans the meals, shops for the meals, packs the camper and the car, cooks all the meals over the campfire (including pancakes, bacon, steak, potatoes, fresh coffee), makes all of the campfires, etc., what's not to love about camping with Tom?

She looks like she's enjoying herself...





We had such a nice time. Felt relaxed for the first time in quite a while. We even did pretty well with our dieting, although I think we are gonna skip this week just in case!

Lilly will be 5 months this time next week! Will update more then!
