Falls Lake Camping Trip

We kicked off the summer with our annual camping trip to Falls Lake. It rained for about 90 minutes shortly after we arrived, but it wasn't a big deal since we now have this handy dandy tarp to cover the picnic table. The rain also didn't deter the kids from swimming, but the lack of sun did make them quite cold.

Simon is obsessed with fishing, and went right out in the morning to fish. Saturday started out cloudy, but later cleared up and we had a beautiful afternoon.

Our home away from home.

We were joined by two sets of friends this year: Andrea and her boys, Glenn and Murphy; plus Lindsey, Brent, Grayson and Brie drove down from Virginia to join us. The six kids had a lot of fun playing together!

Zac used some hot dog meat and they fished at night, with Zac, Simon and Alice each catching a catfish.

Sunday morning was bright and beautiful.

So nice to see the team back together again!

Alice was tuckered out by Sunday afternoon. Simon was tired too, but he just kept swimming and fishing.

We first camped at Falls Lake in 2015, when Simon was 2 and Alice was 4. This is our sixth summer of camping out here! I wonder if the kids will ever get tired of it...probably when they are boring teenagers in a few years.
