The weekend before Halloween, Jonathan had planned a REAL camping trip for us to go on. We traveled to Wildcat Creek near Clarksville, Georgia in the North Georgia Mountains. Although I was not enthusiastic about going camping in late October, I figured I'd take one for the team and tough it out with my two boys. We arrived and it was so beautiful!
The weather was perfect, leaves changing, arrived early... everything going as planned. We did a little roaming and even attempted fishing (without luck), but by 6pm Jaxon was asleep, so we coughed it up to a busy day and we both crawled into our sleeping bags and called it an early night. Day two, we woke up to rain. We expected a little rain the first day so we were pretty accepting of this...to begin with. But when the temp started to drop and the rain kept coming - spirits started getting low. We played Chutes & Ladders and CandyLand but that can only go on for soooo long trapped in a tent. So the decision was made to go home first thing the next morning. I felt so horrible that Jon's camping trip was so disappointing, but it wasn't a complete bust. We will go back early spring next year (when it is MUCH warmer) try the camping experience again. I did manage to get in a few good pictures on the first day, before all the rain came in and my camera got parked inside the car.
