Highlights From The Highlands

We went camping over the Memorial Day weekend.



Three other families joined us at Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia.





We had a wonderful weekend of food, fun, and fellowship!



I'd never seen a Fire Azelea before.



Stephanie braided Corinna's hair.





The big boys played lots of cornhole.







The Buchanan's were nice to share their bikes. We've got to figure out a way to carry ours next trip.


The crew is setting out for our Wild Pony hike at Massie Gap.




This is the highest point in the park.


The hike was very scenic.


Here's the first pony we spotted. As you'll see, they weren't too "wild" after all.



She's going to have a baby real soon.



I told my second graders that I'd try to get my picture made with a wild pony and I did! It nipped my hand tying to get my water bottle after this shot.



We saw a big group on horseback. There is a section of the park for equestrian camping.



I'll post more pony pictures later because I deleted some while editing.





the party ball, made of Dixie cups and Christmas tree lights...



This photo was taken after our camp church on Sunday morning.



There was some pickin' and grinnin' going on in the ampitheatre.



JJ tries to get the beanbag in the hole.






The next pictures are from two separate Salamander Meanders.

There were 8 adults, 14 kids and 2 dogs in our group. We're visiting another Virginia State Park in July. Want to come along? The more the merrier!
