Smith Lake Camping

How fun - we went camping this weekend at Smith Lake in Cullman, AL. What a blast! We had such a wonderful time. It was really great weather and everything was just perfect. We got everything packed up and arrived at the campground around 6:30 or so Friday evening. That left us lots of time that night to enjoy a nice campfire and some great food, which of course, we enjoyed all weekend long! We boated all day on Saturday. It was a really nice lake, clean and big - lots to explore and see on it. We let alex tube a bit and he even tried to get up on the wakeboard - no luck, but he kept trying at it - I was really impressed with him. He's getting so big. He wasn't about to give up. We were done with it before he was! ;) hahh. Anyway, it was a long day out there on the water and we all were all pretty red when we came in. We got back to the campsite, had a drink and then took the kids to the beach - can you believe they wanted more of the water? don't they ever get tired? what the heck???! lol. We stayed there for awhile and then headed back to the campground to get the fire ready for dinner and cook us up some goodies. YUM. Lots of s'mores to be had, taters in the fire, corn on the cob in the fire - brats, burgers - and the list goes on and on! Sunday we got up and started slowly packing up while we cooked up some blueberry pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, sausages and coffee. Then we went to play some miniature golf and took the kids swimming before completely packing up and heading home for the day. Fuddy did manage an injury of course before leaving - he cut up his foot and broke a toe at the pool. ahhh - my sweet Fuddy - I knew we shoulda brought his "walking around helmet" sigh. Oh well, what are ya gonna do?

I was completely and utterly exhausted when we got back home, just dog-tired - but what a fun weekend. The kids are already asking when we can do it again! So, I guess it was a hit! I will definitely try to plan another one of them soon... I hope! ;) How was your weekend?





Update: here's a couple of pictures... we had a really good time there...

What?? No Pictures ? Surely during all that fun, there was time for a Kodak Moment !
It is pretty down there around Cullman,..although most of what I've see is visible from the Interstate, and the Truck Stop ! LoL
