Camping at Stephen Foster State Park - Okefenokee Swamp

We spent this weekend camping at the Stephen Foster State Park in Georgia, on the Okefenokee swamp. It's about a 2 hour drive from our house. It's been a year since we took the trailer out camping, so it was nice to get out. We were a little worried about the tires, but they held up just fine.

We had a nice relaxing time. JT met 7 kids at one camp site - cousins camping with their grandparents. Turns out 3 of the kids were from Mandarin near where we live.

They had some Pioneer day activities and demonstrations on Saturday that JT enjoyed... sawing a log tandem with another boy, making candles the old fashion way, making soap, etc. Then later in the afternoon they had a hay ride around the park and JT went on it about 3 times with the kids down the way... waving as he passed the camper each time.

Easter Sunday

Look at these handsome guys! JT is sporting his new suit and looking rather GQ, just like his dad. I'd show you a photo of me, but... as usual, no one thought of taking one of me.

After going to church Easter morning, we headed over to KD's house to have Easter dinner. Jenny came over and cooked up some baked chickens for us. We also had fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits. This was a very untraditional Easter dinner for us, but it was a nice change -plus it worked well for our diets.

I cooked an Angel food cake with crushed pineapple in it. Another low calorie option for us. It actually turned out really good and everyone enjoyed it. I'm including a photo because it's a big deal for me to bake something and most of my friends won't believe it without seeing a photo!
