Camping
We spent most of last week camping at the lake. We're p
retty lucky to live only about 35 minutes to get to some very nice areas of Lake Allatoona. We arrived on Sunday afternoon to pick out a "first come, first serve" spot at our favorite campground, McKinney. Thankfully there were still some nice spots on the water left. Andy, Gizmo & I were ready for 4 nights in the "woods". Ok, we have a camper ... Still, we were camping! 
After 8 weeks of no rain, brown grass, dead flowers, low lake level and local ponds drying up ... the drought en
ded starting on the day of our yard sale and the rain continued on and off through our week of camping. We couldn't believe the luck, but we still had a good time. It rained for awhile every day and every night! We did get to go swimming a few days. Andy went fishing every morning and evening right by our camp site. There were TONS of brim that hung out around a fallen tree right by the waters edge. I fished with him one night and we were catching a fish with every cast, funny! He even had the fish JUMPING OUT OF THE WATER when he'd 
hold the worm just above water level, nuts!! We cooked out every night, yummy! I read several book
s and cross stitched, Andy went for bike rides. We played TONS of HOURS worth of UNO, Monopoly, Scattergories, Mancala and I can't even remember what other games. We watched a handful of DVDs worth of "Raymond" episodes. Despite the icky weather, we had a great time! We had some visitors as well! Mr. Squirrel
returned several nights before we'd get the trash to the dumpster, Momma duck and her babies were regulars at the water edge and the duck gang decided to make themselves at home after a rain storm one afternoon.
