Camping

We just returned from a fun one-night camping trip at Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina.  It's about 90 minutes away, 2 barrier islands to the north.  I know, you are probably thinking, "Oh those Webers, one beach island isn't enough for them anymore; they have to take trips to other beachy islands."  But islands are beautiful and this one differed from Tybee.  All undeveloped.  Campground right next to the beach. (If you are reading this from up north, it's 70 degrees down here.  Perfect camping weather.

Father and son activity:  Eating peanuts around the campfire

 Of course Mathieu wanted to help out with everything from setting up the tent, building the campfire, and cooking over the camping stove.  This is the third time we have gone camping now in the last 3 months.  We are all really enjoying it.  We hope to get a couple more trips in before the bugs get too bad for camping.

The only time you will ever see Sue with a hot dog on this blog

The beach was taking over the forest, so the sands were covered with dead trees.  A striking sight.

 

Breaking down the camp

 We did about 3 miles on a trail through the forest. Mathieu enjoyed riding his bicycle.  As you can see he can go pretty fast, and he loves the hills!
