Labor Day Camping

Labor day weekend we camped at Wind Creek.  Wind Creek is our favorite place to camp (except the beach).  It's always crazy crowded over there on holiday weekends, but we still love it.  Lake Martin is absolutely beautiful.  Unfortunately our trip got cut short thanks to Tropical Storm Lee, but we had perfect weather on Friday afternoon and Saturday.  We had a great time enjoying the great outdoors - riding bikes, swimming, and playing at the playground.  We couldn't complain too much about the rain since we needed it so badly.  Our grass is not crispy anymore.  

Whenever we camp at Wind Creek during the summer months, we always visit the Alex City Farmer's Market.  It's always fun to see what kind of produce and hand-made products people are selling.  I bought some great smelling home-made soap. The main reason we go is because my sister and brother-in-law have a produce booth there.  We like to go visit them, but we also like going to Alex City.  It is such a pretty little town.  I noticed all kinds of great photo spots.  I wasn't prepared on this trip, so I'll have to remember those for our next visit.   Our absolute favorite part of visiting Alex City is going to Carlisle Drug Store and getting an old fashioned limeade.  They make them by hand with freshly squeezed limes.  It's been a long time since I had a famous lemonade from Toomer's Drugs, but Carlisle's limeades could give them some competition.

I had to get a couple of pictures of my handsome boy. 

My dad does not like having his picture taken.  However, if I ever mention him taking a picture with Nate, he's all about it. 

I found a box of our wedding napkins in a drawer a few months ago.  I immediately thought they would make good camping napkins...since we are so fancy when camping. :)
