I may not look or act like a country girl, but I am. I love to be outside and I love to camp. My parents decided several weeks ago that they would spend this past weekend with Ella in a place we all love. I decided kind of last minute to join the ho-down and I am so glad I did.
I was off work on Friday for my doctor’s visit and a long-overdue dentist appointment. I decided to make the most of it and packed my car and drove up to meet them on Friday afternoon. The two hour drive was quiet and filled with beautiful trees of every color. When I arrived at camp, I saw this sweet face…
and this pretty scenery.
On Saturday, we went to the weekly Trade Day a few miles down the country road. Although we didn’t buy much we did see lots of pretty things.
We did manage to catch the Alabama game and eat lots of good food. We were all in bed by 7 o’clock and up at dawn every day. We spent lots of time by the fire, reading books and laughing at Ella.
On Sunday morning, we packed up camp and took one last stroll around the lake, taking in the sights and sounds.
Take a look at these tiny toads!!
Farewell, Ft. Payne!!
Now, for a few questions you asked and a few others you didn’t (and might not).
- The shoes from the previous post are from K-Mart; as were Ella’s cute pink Mary Janes.
- I was sitting in a lawn chair with my legs propped up on the grate over our campfire. It looked much different when the fire was burning.
- SD skipped out on this trip in favor of the Bama game. Can you blame him?
- There were no pics of K & Cory at camp because they stayed at a different campground. Cable was a necessity for them during football season!
