Early Monday morning, June 6th, we started out for a three-day camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was our second trip to the area and we prepared with much anticipation.
Our happy little camper, complete with his lamb, Zadok, and a beloved animal cracker.
A new use for rest-stop picnic benches - pushups!

Ambushed by guerilla fighters!
Benaiah climbing trees and enjoying the view
After setting up camp, and it being late afternoon with not a lot to do there, we headed down to the beautiful little park in the nearby town of Blowing Rock. It's a quaint little town with it's streets lined with small shops where people walk to their shopping instead of driving, but they have the funnest park, as we discovered last time.
Blowing Rock, the quaint little mountain town we stayed at.
The little gazebo on the pond
Watching the ducks and fish in the pond
The fountain
First, there was just one duck
Then, we noticed three others on the opposite shore who soon took to the water like...
well...ducks! :)
Elliot, Christianna, Timothy, and Jedidiah playing horseshoes
And we all played tennis!
And we all played tennis!
Jedidiah and
Tobias enjoyed the bars!
And I think Benaiah enjoyed having the sandbox to himself
Resting and Talking
Day 2 coming soon...

Looks like you guys had a blast on your first day! I especially like the picture where everyone is leaning over the railing looking at the ducks and fish. ;)
