Camping with the cousins

We spent last weekend camping with my brother and his family.  We went to the Uwharrie National Forest which is about an hour east of here.  Beautiful trees...
Kids always love the fire.

One of our big excitements was a storm on Saturday evening.  We knew about it thanks to Safety Rich so we hand put away everything and were hunkered down in Shawn's camper.  While it was quite windy and we got some decent rain, it wasn't a crazy storm like there was in Charlotte.  Shortly after the rain ended, there were diggers and back hoes and all kinds of heavy equipment in the campgrounds.  Apparently some trees had come down so they were there to take care of it.  These guys came in, chopped trees down and were gone!





Colin discovered tiny baby frogs.  I guess they weren't babies since they were frogs but they were tiny and cute.

A giant nasty spider Colin found.

The kids had a good time playing along Lake Badin.


I think the best part for the kids was just being out in the wilderness and they love the time with the family.  They think their older cousins are pretty cool!
