Camping Trip to "Purple Mountains"

Last weekend the kids had Thursday, Friday and Monday off so we went camping! We went out to the same place we went riding back in June. The weather was perfect! Not to hot and not to cold!!

The view as we sit and watch everyone ride...

These two, on the quad again! They we're getting a little too comfortable for their own good!!

No, that's not water in the bottle.. It's dirt! It's all about the dirt when you're a boy! :)

We went exploring while out there to Fort Pearce. It's where the pioneers would sit up on the hill and wait for the Indians to come... And then they would fight. Or something along those lines... :)
What a helpful big sister!

What's left and what has been reconstructed of the Fort

These two are just too cute together!!

I took some scenic pictures while exploring. We live in some of the prettiest parts of the country!

Maci has mastered the quad all by herself!! She rode up and down the hills having so much fun!! But again she was a little to comfortable!! :) For us Parents anyway!
Anyone need any ideas for her for Christmas.. She wants a quad! ;)

Here she is going down one of the hills...

And here is her sidekick thinking he can do what sissy does!

He is off to find her!

But his little power wheels quad just doesn't make it up the hills like the one Sissy is on!

And what would camping be without a serious camping face?!?
This is a face only a Mother could love!!

He was really hamming it up for the camera!

This picture has nothing to do with camping really... This "shoe" tree we pass every time we go down to my Grandparents house.. I've always wanted to get a picture of it and remembered just in time on our way home! One of these day's we're going to add a pair up there!!

Hope you're having a great week!! Maci and I are so excited for tomorrow!! We're having a girls day and going to see High School Musical 3! We've been counting down for the past 3 days! Well actually weeks but now it's so close we count down every night! :)
Oh ya, and the picture at the top is us standing in front of our new home town... Isn't it pretty?!?

K - T loved these pictures. I can't believe how big Maci seems on that quad. It just doesn't seem right. Poor Kernan, you guys should make him a little hill that his quad can go up. It looks pretty, I love a couple of the scenery pictures. I just love nature. C U guys soon. I'm waiting for a response now, then I thought I would ask Bri.
