Last Camping of 2012

Our last camping trip of the year was mid-September...thank goodness for the beautiful weather!  The leaves were changing, but we were still wearing short sleeves.  Awesome!!  We headed up to Hughesville for the weekend. leaving after school on Friday.  We couldn't have a fire due to the dry weather, but we still had a good time eating popcorn and ice cream in the camper at night time.  In fact, maybe I enjoyed it even more because we all cuddled into the camper at night and watched family movies on the couch pull-out!  Saturday morning Grandma Nita drove up to meet us and we went on a four-wheeler ride past the Hughesville mine.  The weather was perfect and the scenery was breathtaking.  The fall colors were perfect with reds, oranges, yellows, and greens from the forest floor to the sky. 








My cute little pumpkins!!





Abbie was just intrigued with the whole mining process.  She wanted to know how it worked, how did they get down in the hole, what happened when they got in there, etc.  We explained what we
could but had to do some research on the internet when we got home to be able to answer her questions.  She wanted to go in every mine and just couldn't understand why we wouldn't let her.

















We went for one more short ride on Sunday before we left.  Again the weather was perfect...it was hard to load up and go home!


Abbie looks so grown up in her helmet!
