A-Camping We Will Go!

We went to Stone Door in the South Cumberland State Park near Monteagle, TN this weekend. Wow. That's a lot of information. It was beautiful and a great weekend to camp. Mike Dupree couldn't make it so just Tiffany and their kids, Edison and Emme, went with us. We hiked, made s'mores, slept in tents and the whole nine yards. It was so much fun! I was nervous about how Maggie would do but she surprised me by doing amazingly well. She loved sleeping in the tent in her Uncle Spencer's sleeping bag, and she seemed to love sleeping in between Grant and I. She went right to sleep and woke up once in the middle of the night with a short cry out and once to tell me she loved me. It was pretty chilly so we had several blankets on top of our sleeping bag. Here's a photo Grant took right before we got up for the day.

Maggie also wore this great snowsuit that belonged to Spencer when he was little (he's 10 now). We called her Marshmallow Girl the whole weekend. Here she is with Emme, sitting around the campfire circle.
This snow suit was so big and bulky she was like the kid from a Christmas Story. She could barely put her arms down by her side and when she fell down she couldn't get up without assistance. But she was toasty warm! Don't ask me why she's making this face!


Here's a cute one of Tiffany and Edison.Here's one of Maggie hiking with Grant. She's kind of scowling and I think she looks strangely like Grant here. What do you think?!
