Labor Day Camping

Our glamping trip quickly turned into a camping trip when the place accidentally double booked us. I'm pretty sure we found the last 2 camp sites left in NC. So here we are all setup at the Lazy J Campground near Brevard.

Our good friend Amanda came but unfortunately her son Zachary was not able to. He was at this exact same campground with us last year for Jackson's birthday. Due to the last minute packing of tents, Amanda had to use Mimi's old tent. Still so nice.

We all still fit in our big tent. Slept all in a row like sardines.

Snuggling my man by the campfire the 1st night. The kids had smores of course.

Our sweet boys playing Jackson's homemade card game by lantern light. They are the best!

The next day we headed to Gorges State Park. It was Josh and my 2nd visit. This place has the largest waterfall I've ever seen. Rainbow falls. Can you see the rainbow!?

Up close and personal to the rainbow.

Addy checking out the falls.

Posers. We were feeling some serious mist coming off the falls.

Amanda and I on the top of the falls. Check out the people at the bottom for perspective. There were signs deterring people from going to the top because of several recent deaths.

Benny & Josh watching people slide off Turtleback Falls.

Of course Josh had to do it. He wanted to take Benny with him but I said NO WAY!

We returned to camp and were soon joined by my favorite female combo, Stephanie and her daughter Chloe.

After a chili dinner we walked down to the river to explore.

Then got to see the sunset in the farmyard area of the campground. They had a rooster, chickens, and some ponies the kids got to feed.

Eating breakfast the next morning in our tent neighborhood.

This crazy girl made bacon and eggs for everyone on her griddle.

My very favorite guy and best friend. We just celebrated our 15 year anniversary! So thankful for him in every single way.

There's nothing they'd rather do, even our teenage girl. So proud of her for this!

Real women know how to skip rocks! Ha. Josh just taught me not too long ago.
