Our Campsite this weekend at Lake Sylvia. We can now completely set up camp in an hour! Woo-hoo! We had a most relaxing weekend that included an adventure-some Saturday and waking up to a rainstorm today...complete with packing up camp in the rain! But was it worth it? Oh yea, even the chiggers! HA!
Here we are Saturday morning (self-timer on the camera...heehee!)...after breakfast (and I do LOVE a good camping breakfast), we blew up our floaties (oh, and don't tell Dad that I can actually do it myself b/c I usually sucker him into blowing up my floaties..heehee), loaded 'em in the car and decided to go exploring. Wow! We had no idea where we were at times, but we saw some beautiful parts of Arkansas and felt like we were the only two people in the world. Because we were literally out in the middle of no man's land!
Just to give you an idea of the roads less traveled that we were on look at the picture below...needless to say, we never passed any other cars the entire time. We saw three deer...the first one was a Momma deer and her baby but my camera was in the back. The buck that later ran out in front of us was way to fast even if I wanted a picture! Look at the view ahead of us...we probably drove upward around 15 miles before we started back down the mountain we were on.
Turns out, we were in the Flatside Wilderness of the Ouachita National Forest. We were told this may be Flatside Pinnacle Mtn.??
We saw so many beautiful streams and creeks that I lost count!







Of course, we then had to have some good 'ole campin' food for dinner...see the corn? That is from our garden!!! Yay!


(gonna have to crop out that trash in the background for the scrapbooks..ha!)
The best part about camping is that we BOTH love it!! There is nothing better than spending the weekend in the woods with your best friend, no agenda, just hanging out and seeing what adventures come your way. We are very lucky that we love each other's company and can do these things and not ever get bored with it just being the two of us. Love ya Kevin!

Okay, okay -- I admit it. After looking at your photos and reading your stories, there is a part of me that might actually like to camp again. If we could just get rid of the mosquitos, the snakes, my fear of bears and burglars, and maybe add a hot running shower and electrical outlets to the camper, then I just MIGHT be convinced to give it another try. haha You and Kevin look so happy and your pictures are gorgeous!
Awww what a great relaxing weekend! You two look SO HAPPY!
That looks beautiful and sounds like a lot of fun! I sure wish I wasn't allergic to the great outdoors.
I love camping...Can;t wait to do it next year after not being prego anymore!!!!
