Summer Comes to an End

Bye Bye Summer it's been nice!

To end the Summer season we decided to go camping at Kerr Lake. We met up with my sister and her family. I have to say we had a ball. It was really relaxing.....which was what I needed. There were only about 4 other tent campers there. We thought it would be packed but we were wrong. It was nice and quite. The only thing was the lake water was a little low this time.

We had great food, sunshine, campfire....smores, bike rides, swimming and fishing. We enjoyed watching boaters go by, talking and laughing, and visiting the nearby store for some major good milkshakes.

Anyway I want to end this post with some pictures I took at the lake.
This was the sunrise. Every morning I could sit up in my tent and watch it rise.
This was our spread....we laughed about how far we were spread out, and this was one site too.
My hubby (in gray shirt) and my brother in law fishing.
Hubby, daughter, and niece playing a game of toss the water ball in the lake.

A sailboat.....every sailboat that went by always looked as if they were falling over.

I am still in shock. It's so hard getting my daughter still to take a good picture of her....she loves making a silly face at the time I click the camera.....so I was happy to get this great pic of her.
Even on vacation there is time to get some fun exercise in......this was also our transportation to and from the bath house too....unless it was an emergency...then we drove the truck...LOL
Around the lake:


I love this picture....it's so peaceful!

There was an old graveyard that you can get to by taking a bike trail. It's the Hargrove family back in the 1800's. It's very pretty and peaceful too.
I love this picture because of the old feeling, it's the entrance of the graveyard. I love the old trees and the iron gate.
Well, that's some of the pictures I took. I hope your summer was a great one, and that Fall is even better........and cooler!
