Mother"s Day Campout 2017





Don't say we can't multitask. Mary Grace wanted to cook ribs in the crockpot. So of course we cooked them in the car on the way to the camp out. 

 

Here they are plugged into the outlet ready to ride. The only downside was how hungry the great smell made us. 

 

We arrived just ahead of a storm 

 

We kind of enjoyed watching it once everyone arrived safely. 

 

Some got caught in this deluge. 

 

All was forgotten as dinner was served. 

 

The next day Ryan settled in for serious snacking and relaxing. 


 Took a walk to the very odd park office. Looked like a plantation house. 

 

We have governor Hugh White to thank for this park. 

 

Got this sort of ghostly picture of a small old graveyard that is in the park. 

 

Obviously had been there since before the reservoir was made (Grenada Lake that is). 

 

Our resident fire starter got to work. 


 Then she had two grills going. One for veggies one for steak and salmon. 

 

Linda showed off her new insulated glass. 


 
Dinner was perfect. 

 

Loved this drainspout. 

 

Vintage web chairs. Sophie's photo. 


Our chairs await. 

 
 
The sun began to set. 

 

We discovered a hidden beach right below us. 

 

MG and Ryan skipping stones

 

Found lots of cool mushrooms. 

 

 
 
Time to crank up the fire. 


Another box takes off. 

 
 
The next morning was pancakes, bacon and presents. 

 

I rode home listening to vintage Mother's Day music.
