Camping at Table Rock

This past weekend Aaron and I packed up our camping gear (what little we have!) and lots and lots of munchies and headed to Table Rock State Park in South Carolina to camp with some of our dear friends, the Lavenders.

Friday night we arrived just before dark and we were able to set up our tent (on a hill) and play a couple of games before heading to bed.

We started the trip off right on Saturday morning with pancakes and bacon. Yum. Yum.

 After breakfast, we decided to go on a hike.  Unfortnately, all the short hikes went nowhere special.. so we embarked on a 6 mile hike. Whoa.  I did fine until the last mile when I got a side stitch.  The hike we did was to a waterfall, which was beautiful.  Once we got there, we settled down on a rock for our packed picnic.  Newton went along for the hike and did a great job.  I was pretty impressed by our little suburban dog.

On Sunday, we decided we were not cut out for another hike, so we drove to see some pretty sights, but mostly hung around camp lounging and playing games.  Our games of choice were Rummikub and Monopoly Deal.  Sunday night we grilled out hamburgers and roasted hot dogs.  

Of course, no camping trip is complete without Smores.

Newton's favorite part (and our least favorite) was collecting rocks and laying one beside us for us to toss for him to fetch.  He had a little collection going on the picnic table and I died laughing when I saw it.  haha.
