Tugaloo State Park

Last weekend C3 spent the weekend at Tugaloo State Park. It was a nice camp with many lake front campsites. Ours was not lakefront, however friends of ours were also camping there this weekend, and they had a waterfront site. The actual campsites seemed a bit close to one another and we felt that we were right on top of other campers. Luckily our neighbors all had young children and dogs too! This campsite has cable hookup, so on Saturday all seemed to be watching the Georgia Football Game. We did not bring a TV! While at the park, we walked part of the 3.6 mile trail that circled the park. We also spent some time at the playground. The bathrooms were cleanish. We had a good time and were glad we camped there, it is only an hour drive from our house. We were at Campsite #84- Right next to one of the "comfort stations" . Visiting our friends, Kayla and Jonathan. They were at campsite #68, waterfront. Tocca Falls- about a 20 minute drive from Tugaloo State Park, it was so pretty and a very easy walk. There is a fee to view the falls; $1 for adults, Colton was free! Kayla and Jonathan

C3 at the falls!

Fall Festivals!

Last weekend C3 went to two fall festivals in the Upstate! Fall for Greenville and The Pumpkin Festival. I was excited about the festivals, however both were a bust.

2 year old + large crowds + stroller = a big mistake!

However I managed to get a few cute pictures of Colton.

2 New Recipes

Last weekend with Shanna and Tyler visiting, i had the challenge of coming up with a non-meat/fish dish. I quickly remembered a sample of fish i had had at Publix. I wanted to share this Potato-Crusted Fish with my 11 followers, because it was that good! One of the ingredients in the fish above is Buttermilk. I only used a 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, what to do with the rest? BUTTERMILK PANCAKES! These too were yummy and my first Martha Stewart recipe. I did not add blueberries to mine. Enjoy!

Watson Mill Bridge State Park- September 2010

C3 went to Watson Mill Bridge State Park in Comer,GA this weekend! This was our first camping trip as a family and we had a great time. Casey got there Friday afternoon to set up camp, and Colton and I joined him when later that night. Saturday we had perfect weather to explore the campground and see the sights. We went to the covered bridge, played in the water, played at the playground, and hiked the trails.

Campsite #9 was great. Close to the comfort station (flushing toilets, hot showers, and washer and dryer). The site was big enough for our camper, screen house, and there was even room for a tent if we had more people. If we were to go back, i think we would stay at campsite #9 again.
Foil dinners and toasted Marshmallows! Yummy!

Cool Tree. Number 4!

Harvest Longboard

Overall, we had a great weekend. Spent the perfect amount of time there. Other than the State Park, there is not much to do in Comer, GA. We are looking forward to our next camping trip. We hope to plan something in the next few weeks.

Easter Sunday!

Nene and papa were here for Easter Sunday! The Easter Bunny showed up with baskets full of goodies for both Colton and Jayce. He also left some eggs in the yard for the boys to find. They had fun putting the eggs in thire baskets, and also playing with the stickers they found in the eggs! The weather was perfect for the hunt!

Random New Pictures!

Just wanted to update everyone with some new pictures taken around the house! C3 will be in Florida next week and can't wait! Lots of pictures to come from our vacation.

Winter Wonderland!

Saturday morning C3 woke up to SNOW!!!! Living in South Carolina it only snows about once a winter, so we were lucky to have the snow on a Saturday. We ate breakfast quickly and then went out side to play. Colton loved running around in the snow and shaking it off branches. Harley Dog could have spent all day running around in the snow. It's too bad all the snow was gone 24 hours later.
