Those of you that know me- even a little bit- know that I do NOT exactly heart camping. My sweet husband, however, loves it! Now, I try to be a good sport about it-- I even agreed to buying a camper so that maybe camping would be a little more enjoyable but it's still not exactly my favorite thing to do-- but I must say, it's growing on me!
Jonathan and I have been married 7 years last Sunday. I decided to surprise him with a camping trip. I made reservations in Greenwood a month or so ago but when we went to hang out with his parents Memorial Weekend at Hawe Creek, I came home and changed our reservation. The plan was for his daddy to come pull our camper to our campsite before Jonathan got home. I got everything packed up-- with two kids this was no easy feat! I sent Jonathan a text to meet us at site 32 at Hawe Creek! I think he was very surprised!
Jonathan's parents were so sweet to help out! His momma came to the campsite to hang with the boys while I set everything up and unpacked. Friday night, everyone went to get the pontoon from Grandma and Grandpa's and me and Holden took a stroll. Normally he is in the carseat on top of the stroller, but it was too hot for that so we improvised. He looks so big here!
When Jonathan and B got back, we built a campfire. Bennett was in hog-heaven! This boy loves to camp!
He also loves to roast marshmallows! He stayed up with us until nearly 11:00pm!!! Luckily both boys slept until 9 this next morning-- minus two nursing sessions for Holden!
Funny kid!
Saturday, we loaded up the boat for a ride. This time, we had a new lifejacket for baby boy that he liked MUCH better. He slept nearly the entire time!
My cool dude in his shades!
Daddy and B decided to take a swim.
Daddy even let B drive the boat!
Laid back... I think he looks pretty relaxed!
Here is his outfit-- minus the lifejacket.

My boys!

Bennett had so much fun looking for lightning bugs.
Gram and her boys-- they came over to babysit while Jonathan and I went to dinner Saturday night.
All in all we had a great trip-- minus the ANTS. We even came home and began looking for a new camper. Seeing my family have fun has made me reconsider my stance on camping... maybe I like it just a little!
I was happy to do something special for my hubby. He works so hard for us. I am so proud to call him mine. Here's to 70 more...
