Camping

This weekend Adam and I went camping with 7 of our friends in Cloudland Canyon, GA. It was such a relaxing weekend and so refreshing to be out of the city. 

Day 1 hiking before the rest of the group arrived. This was about a 5.5 mile hike and a lot of it had really steep cliffs. Hence the canyon. For those of you who know me well, yes, I stayed back and never ventured on to that rock. I "needed" to take pictures. :)

Colby doesn't do so well with humidity, so this creek apparently looked like a nice spot for him to lay down.

Our tent I got Adam for his birthday. I thought it was great.

Our set up where we spent most of our time

Waterfall hike

Our little family. Colby really wanted to go for a swim, but it was not allowed. So he basically cried the whole time we were at the waterfall

Charlie the dog whisperer.

Next plan of action
Image

Next leg involved a lot of steps with small holes in them that Colby's paws kept falling through. Does this look familiar Mom and Rachel?
Image

The path was much easier on his little paws
Image

We saw quite a few snakes. Gross. I chose not to post the pictures. You're welcome.
Image

Whenever Colby gets a chance to lay down to eat, he jumps on it. He hasn't woken up since we got home 7 hours ago. To say he is worn out would be a vast understatement. He did great though.

Random impromptu picture that displays our personalities pretty well
Image

Charlie the camping master. And Lauren too. No way we could have gone without them
Image

One last look at our site. It was pretty trashed after 3 days.
Image

I'm so glad we did this! Lots of good quality time.

Happy 4th Birthday Colby!

ImageImage
 Happy Birthday to my precious puppy who follows me all day long. I can hardly walk without almost stepping on him...and I love it! I read a long time ago not to get and English Cocker if you don't want him to follow you room to room and jump on your lap any chance he gets. Well, that is for sure what I got! He is currently enjoying his birthday treat. Sorry about making you wear that hat again this year buddy. It's just so cute! Happy Birthday to your brother Oliver too. Wish they could celebrate together!

Sewing Projects

I have gone back and forth about posting my projects because I don't want to be "look how talented I am and tell me I'm awesome". I am not a good sew-er though, so I thought it was ok to show my family what I have been sewing. I'm having fun if nothing else.
