Memorial Day Weekend

Over the long weekend, our family went camping at Kerr Lake near the NC/Va border. We went from Thursday through late Monday with Jeremy, Marie, & Kaleb and had a great time. We didn't want to come home! Randy & Jeremy camped here as kids, but we (as a family) had not ever been to this campground before. There were excellent campsites right on the water & while i was extremely nervous at first at how close we were to the water, the children did great with their boundaries & played hard all weekend. This is the view from the door of the camper....And this is the view if you look to the left out of the door of the camper- surrounded by water!!Our view from the boat...We had a resident goose which made his rounds each morning & got really close. Eli especially enjoyed pointing to him, "talking" about him, & throwing food at him (which NEVER made it to the poor bird). While the bird was a little precarious of us, he still got pretty close depending on what was offered (French Fries are not his favorite!)

The first day was pretty windy & chilly, so our activities were limited to fishing on "our" rocks, & digging worms for the guys. The little ones really got into this & i was surprised that they would touch them!

After the first day the days got really warm & the kids really enjoyed playing in the water. The days activities revolved around boat rides, water play, "mowing" the water, & eating!! Of course, there was also lots of bike rides & roasting of marshmallows! Here are LOTS more pictures to feast upon.....
