Camping Trip 2008.....

So Buck and I decided to take Ella Ray and Howard camping this past weekend since the weather was going to be so nice. We knew it would be a gamble taking a 22 month old in a tent for the weekend in the woods, but we said "what the heck".....well our gamble paid off, Ella Ray had so much fun. We went to Henry Horton State Park and they have an Olympic sized swimming pool and a giant kiddy pool, so we spent the whole day Saturday swimming. Then Ella Ray and I went the their "snake" show where we learned all about the different snakes in TN and Ella Ray fell in love with a Black Rat snake named "Mitch"...you will see she loved petting "Mitch"....then at sundown they gave all the kids a hay ride around the entire state park. We really did have a lot of fun roasting hot dogs and marshmallows and hiking around with her this weekend, she is definitely an outdoors girl!!!
