Memorial Day

We spent a wonderful Memorial day weekend at Mistletoe State Park and didn't take a single picture! Isn't that terrible! I think it's a sign that camping with a two year old and a baby keeps us very very busy.
We had a great trip, we went with Phillip and Jamie's family, and a family from their ward, the Hills. Both of which own Kayaks. So between the three families we had 4 kayaks and 1 canoe, and boy did we have fun. Our biggest adventure was when Brian was in the canoe with Kyler and two of his cousins. They saw some swells coming so Brian was trying to turn the canoe into them, but with only novice paddlers to help they didn't make it in time and over they went! I was back at camp, but could hear Kyler crying from there. I figured he was just being cranky until they showed up completely soaked. Brian saw it coming so was able to grab Kyler and push him to the top once they were under water, Morgan (6) did good about getting herself to the top, but Savannah (3) was no where in sight. When Phillip (her father) didn't see her come up, he bailed his Kayak and started swimming to try and help. Thankfully all it took was lifting up the canoe to see cute little Savannah holding on for dear life to one of the benches.
Even though everyone was ok, neither Kyler nor Savannah wanted anything to do with the kayaks or the canoe for the rest of the trip.
All and all we had a great time playing in the water, hiding from the rain (yes, it always rains in GA when we go camping) and enjoying fun company.
