First time camping.

We did well in planning this trip. Both Lincoln and Parker went camping for the first time. This was also the first time we pulled out our new tent from my parents. Thanks mom and dad. The campsite was just outside of Helen, GA in Unicoi State Park.
Parker helped to gather wood for our fire, move the rocks around so we had a flat surface to lay the tent, and even hold the poles so daddy could set up the tent. After all the hard work we had drinks and a nice hot dog dinner. Lincoln loved being held by his aunt most of the time.
My favorite was when Parker put on the gloves so he wouldn't get cut or burned when putting the wood in the fire. What a great helper. Parker liked running through the smoke. He caught a mouthful a couple of times. This next set of photos was on our exploration of the camp. Parker was asked to not drink the water. That didn't stop him. Luckily we pulled his pants off before he slipped into the small stream.
We had fun at the campsite and wished that we could have stayed longer. We really loved getting out in nature and building a fire. The moon was beautiful. We did get rained on a little but nothing to dampen our spirits.
Parker and daddy read 'Just Me and My Dad' before bedtime. It sure was cute to watch them read Parker's book.
