My favorite Christmas gift last year was a gift card my mother-in-law gave me to WV State Parks. I've been saving that card since then for the chance to go camping at my favorite place: Babcock State Park. Last weekend, we got to go!
After months of hot, humid summer, we finally got a cool weekend. A little rainy, too. We had to make our hot dog lunch inside.
Uno was fun, but building houses out of cards we even more fun!
Our budding botanists were endlessly begging me to take pictures of the cool discoveries they found (mostly mushrooms).
And, of course, this guy!
We went on multiple hikes.
I'm not sure why this beautiful overlook inspired all of these shenanigans!
That's my man! Do yourself a favor and double click on that photo. :)
We visited the Grist Mill and, of course, hung out by the waterfall.
We drove home through the most beautiful scenery.
What a fun and relaxing trip! What a beautiful world we have to live in! Thanks, Mom, for the wonderful gift!
