Camping Fun

We had the opportunity a couple weekends ago to go camping with our friends Natalie and Lance at Croft State Park. It is near Spartunburg, South Carolina, and yes it was hot! Thankfully the camping area was very shaded and since we were so busy doing things it helped us forget about the heat. It sure is a lot different than what Niels and I are used to. Camping in Utah at the high elevations away from the heat. I didn't sleep with any covers on at all, so you KNOW it was warm!

This first picture is what happens on the way home when you take 2 boys tent camping for a weekend in 100 degree weather with lots of mosquitos, their first horseback riding trail ride ever and swimming in the creek by the campground to cool off from said heat for 3 hours.

Enjoying the trail ride

more trail riding fun


And here is a video of swimming in the creek


There are more pictures including some more of Natalie and Lance in the slideshow above!
Fun times, and now we just need to plan another trip!

How fun! But please tell me that you at least slept without blankets but with your clothes on. I hope that was just a Utah camping tradition. haha J\K!
