Camping at Melton Hill

Posted by KK on Thursday, 4 November, 2010

A few weeks ago we camped at Melton Hill. I am just now figuring out a decent way to post pictures without my JJ’s face being exposed so pardon me if you get overwhelmed by photos of the Baileys in the coming weeks. I am behind. Terribly.

If you are from around here, you know that Melton Hill is close to our house. We’re lucky. Although we largely enjoy finding new and remote areas to camp when you do put forth the effort (huge effort) to go, we opted to stay close to home this time for many reasons. Our little J was one very big reason we decided to. He did not do well the first night and I almost tossed him into the truck several times to take him home to sleep. It was awful. But we made it through the night and was very sleep deprived the next day but managed. The kids had more fun than they could handle….especially because all their cousins were there. Even our little precious Carsadilla (my niece, Carson) was in town from Chattanooga for her very first camping experience. She did great, of course. We highly recommend this spot in the campground, too. It was perfect for our family of 21!

I just can’t resist…

I am probably breaking many privacy rules here but I can’t resist nor can I figure out how to place a simple little black bar across the eyes of our little one like they do when people are in witness protection. Is it really that big a deal? If I really thought it was then I would also have to be willing to admit that I think more than three people read my blog and I don’t think that is the case. My boys are just too cute in their Star Wars themed costumes not to share with the world (or my three friends that I am too lazy to email photos to). I especially like that in OUR house, Anakin has dreadlocks underneath his jedi hood. From left to right: Obi Wan Kenobi (Wheat), Anakin Skywalker (Lake), Jango Fett (River) and Yoda (our little J…”Pooped in my diaper, I did.”)
