Camping at Stone Mountain (Day 3 of 3)

After some instruction from Uncle Paul, Derek starts chopping some wood

Success!

Adam didn't want to be left out of the wood chopping. The little task master chopped all morning long.

Adam snuck onto our air mattress and found his favorite spot - next to Mommy. Everyone seemed to sleep well.

Derek and I got the early morning fire going and then Adam took over as soon as he woke up. After packing things up we went up to the pavilion for donuts and hot chocolate. There was a church service going on and the non-church goers like us were arriving looking for the donuts. We were all getting a little antsy for them to wrap things up and put the dang donuts out. I don't know why we can't have donuts and do our thing while they're doing their thing?

We piddled around some more at the camp. The boys were really into chopping wood with Uncle Paul's hatchet. The weather was so beautiful and the campsite setting next to the lake was so peaceful. Most of the campers were long gone. We all met at Uncle Paul's campsite for lunch and some smores before saying our goodbyes and heading out.
