Camping Trip Part II

Well, this last weekend Brett decided that he wanted to take the kids camping yet again. As much as I wanted to go, I really had a good excuse this time, Brett had to go solo. He tried really hard to get his dad, brother, anybody to go with him, but in the end it was just him and four little kiddos. Yup that's right not only did he take our two kids, but he got Grady and Carson to go with him as well. I'm trying to decide if he's just a great dad and uncle or really completely crazy (I'm thinking both:) I so wish I had taken a picture of him pulling out with a truck full of kids and a big old canoe attached on top. They ended up having a great time and nothing too eventful happened...thank goodness! Brett definitely earns the "Best Dad Ever Award!

Love the homeade rope swing











These last two pics have a really funny, well funny knowing my kids are safe and sound, but actually a kind of scary story. So, after canoeing at Blue Ridge Resevoir Brett told the three boys to sit tight while him and Raylee went and got the truck, so he could back it up and get the canoe loaded. So as he is hurrying to get this done a stranger from the dock asked "Hey are your kids ok up there?" Brett then looks up to see all 3 boys at the edge of a 25ft cliff. How they climbed up there by themselves he has no idea, but they for sure could not get down on their own. He hurriedly got up there put Bradock on his shoulders and held Grady and Carson's hands as they made their way back down. Brett was thinking it was probably about time to get out of there before somebody called CPS on him.

Holy Moly, Brett is a brave guy to take those kids alone! At least Carson and Grady are older...maybe they were big helpers, except for the cliff climbing part. That was pretty funny. He can just tell people that's how you do it in the back woods!

He should've called Chad. Camping is fun, but not when I'm pregnant...so he's gone solo the past couple of times.
