Ultimate Ride!

I was finally a big girl and spent my first night away from Delaney. And what better way to do it than camping!
I tried to capture some cute moments of the morning of our departure. Delaney's new game is to hand me everything out of her crib when I go to get her. Now this is a lot of stuff! I usually stop the game after her blankie, Pooh, Snuggle Bunny, Fuzzy Bear, etc.....I couldn't capture this on film because it was a little difficult retrieving animals while taking pictures.

Delaney and I took a walk before Randy and I left to go camping. She fell asleep in her stroller and was basically comatose.

I took the opportunity for a snuggle.

Randy and I went camping with our friends Mary Holland and Chris and their friends Cheri and Thomas who were great! We went to this campground "The Ultimate Ride" in Dupont, NC which is near Hendersonville. The campground was great and it is a campground made for horses---hence The Ultimate Ride.

Mary Holland, Cheri, and Thomas have some brews upon arrival.

Chris enjoys the mini camping chair.

Chris---with spatula, and Randy---with tongs---are real men camping with kitchen utensils.

Bad picture---but these horses were our neighbors while camping. I named them Sylvester and Mavis.

We all went for a great hike the next day for about 3 hours. There were lots of waterfalls and it was beautiful.

Randy practices for his new job as nature photographer.



I love this one.

I pose in front of the waterfalls.

Chris and Mary Holland strike a lovely pose in the chair tree.

We had such a great time and it was a perfect night away. I can't say we didn't rush home to see Delaney though!!! Delaney and Grammy had such a wonderful time at our house while we were away. They were both so exhausted afterwards, Delaney slept for most of the rest of the weekend and Grammy went to bed before 8 on Saturday night!
