So cute

I know there's fish in here somewhere. Derek and I caught 4 or 5 small trout but that was it.

The best part of camping - the smores

Adam would not wake up. All the activity wore him out.

Derek and I got some more fishing in before everyone got up

Friday July 23 - Sunday July 25

Each summer we try to do a camping trip with Helen's family. This year we went to Toccoa Valley Campground in Blue Ridge, Georgia. It's always nice to see everyone and the kids absolutely love it.
