Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Eric's Bday

The weekend before Eric's 52nd birthday, we drove to Georgia to meet up with Ashlyn. There was a perfect camping site about halfway between SC and AL. 

The campsite had a nice trail loop, so we decided to check it out.

The trail went around a lake and it was so peaceful. The canoe was a nice surprise, as well as a tempting option. But we needed to get back to camp before it got too dark.


A little river crossing along the trail.

The trail then lead us to the other side of the campground where we found a playground! 

Since there wasn't an age limit posted, even birthday boy had some fun.


Breakfast the next morning was Eric's choice. Cracker Barrel!

When we made it back to SC, it was time to celebrate. Eric's birthday is always a special occasion where we have to decorate at least a week in advance, there has to be a theme (or multiple themes), and the cake must be home made. 

This year's cake was half chocolate and half red velvet. He couldn't decide which one he wanted, so he settled on half and half. Sure dear, no problem. Bring it on!
