**Hello Monday** {8.5.2024}
Friday, we celebrated Bree turning the big 30!!! She is definitely thirty, flirty, and thriving. 😉
We left right when school was out and headed up to Blue Ridge for a short camping trip. This was a rescheduled trip from May. It’s about an hour and 3o minutes from our house, so not a bad drive.
Addison jumped out and headed to the creek right away.
After picking up some BBQ for dinner, we took a little walk around the park and ended up at the playground.
When we got back to the camper, I walked down to the rocks and saw this snake skin. Eeek!
Even though it’s a good snake, I didn’t want to come face to face with it. Snakes are out bad right now around where we live.
We had a fairly early bed time.
Saturday morning, we realized that we should have turned the sound machine on for the dog because he woke up barking and whining at 5:10 am. He heard a rooster crowing. Joey and I wanted to strangle the rooster because then there was no going back to sleep.
Once it got light enough outside, we took a walk.
Joey cooked bacon on the grill, and I made some eggs and grits inside.
Even though the resort had a pool, we thought it would be fun to float the little creek behind our camp.
We took a trip to Walmart to grab some river rafts.
Addison and Joey were having a blast. I wasn’t too sure if I wanted to try it out. The water was freezing. I was afraid there might be snakes. It was just a little much to think about. However, after some begging from Addison, I decided to try it out. It was hot, so the water felt nice.
We enjoyed a very relaxing day just chilling, reading, and lots of outside time.
Joey grilled out for dinner.
Addison and Milo enjoyed playing outside.
We had smores that evening, but I forgot to get any pictures.
Sunday morning, we got all packed up and headed back home.
Once back home, we unloaded the camper and started working on laundry.
I had to make a Target run for the week.
We had a lot to do to get ready for the school week. I hope ya’ll are having a great day! Thanks for reading!

Your posts make me want to go camping. We haven’t been in a long time. I do enjoy the little town of Blue Ridge though. We rented a house there with friends not long ago for a weekend and had a great time. I am on the SC side of GA : ) Have a great week!

Thank you, Joyce! That’s awesome that you live “kindof” close to me. I hope you’re having a great start to your week! 🙂

Looks like such a fun weekend! I wouldn’t have wanted to come face to face with a snake either!

Nice little getaway! We wanted to do one with the kids before school started but we did a 2 week trip last month and just didn’t have it in us.
