Our Annual Camping Trip

So every year we go on a camping trip with Shannon's high school buddies and their families. These families are among our closest friends and we look forward to this time each year. We have been going on these trips since Micah was four months old. Each year we pick a campsite in between us and them (the Savannah area). This year we headed to Edisto Beach State Park, SC.

We had a great time. Well, at least my family did. :) It was muggy that first night so that wasn't so fun but the second day was really nice. We all headed down to the beach area and played in the waves for a couple of hours. It was a neat experience to come out of the "woods" and play on the beach and then go back to our campsite. My kids loved it. Micah has really enjoyed his last few trips to the beach and he is doing really great on swimming and playing in the waves. Megan was a little timid and preferred to stay with Daddy since he was tall enough to keep her above the waves. :)

When we got back from playing at the beach most of the families with young kids started heading home. That part was sad because normally we all stay two nights and this year half the group left before the first 24 hours was up. But I totally understood their reasons for leaving. They were missed but the rest of the evening was really nice as well. Even with the small rainy spell on us it turned out to be a great weekend.
