We went camping this past weekend and had a BLAST! Knowing that it was going to RAIN RAIN RAIN on Friday night but be sunny and pretty the rest of the weekend, we decided to brave it! And, that it did! We got to Mountain Lake Campground around 4pm 
Friday afternoon. Set up the tents just in time for the storm! It started raining at around 6pm. We snuggled up in our tent with a deck of cards when it got REALLY BAD! We were literally holding the poles of the tent to keep it from blowing over!!! Lightening, Thunder, Rain like no other…. all for about 45 minutes. If we had had a little bit of time to think about it, we may have actually been scared! But, just like all turmoil, it passed. We sopped up the water covered floor of our tent, had chicken salad for dinner and started our camping adventure! :)
Trial and error, our Coleman stove did NOT work….our fire DID! :)
“The truth is… I AM IRON MAN!”
Breakfast on our WOLF! :) Eggs, bacon, sausage, english muffins… it was DELICIOUS!!!!
After breakfast, we took a walk down by the lake. 
Summersville Lake that is. Joshua enjoyed getting dirty a little more than Mommy did. He was out walking in the water, playing in the clay, being a boy. Jeff taught him how to skip rocks, and apparently pose like an explorer. And by the way, Jeff needs to be crowned the “Word’s most awesome rock skipper”!!! He almost made it across the entire lake!!! CRAZY!
Skipping rocks..
G*Ma, this picture is for you… From Joshua.
He found this snake in the cabin and HAD to take a picture to show his G*Ma!! He said, “if G*Ma was here, she would be scared to death!!!”
Corn, sautéed onions, steak and baked potatoes on the fire! I seriously think that was the best steak I have EVER eaten. NO JOKE! My hunny is a master at the camp fire grilling thing. :) I'm thinking about suggesting that all of our meals be prepared outside from now on…. (it will cut down on the dishes too, but don't tell him that part!!!)
We also had a “Campfire Banana Split”. If you have never heard of this….it’s a Banana, split down the middle, (but not all of the way through the peal) stuffed with baby marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Wrap it with aluminum foil and stick it in the fire long enough for the marshmallows and chocolate chips to melt. It is DELICIOUS and FUN!!!!!!!!!!! 
Mommy, Joshua & Jeff on the playground, being silly!
(insert Titanic Theme Song here)
Joshua has this terribly serious look on his face and said, “Mommy, take my picture.” I said, “Joshua you look like you’re going to poop!” He cracked the BIGGEST smile and I got a great picture! :)
We had a WONDERFUL weekend, rain and all!!! I would do it all a thousand times over! And we really cannot wait until our next camp out in June!!!!
