Lake Hartwell, South Carolina




We arrived at Lake Hartwell State Park yesterday, Monday, June 17th after an almost 5 hour trek from Ashville, NC ( a few stops and a few "navigational hiccups" added some time to the trip) We have the park almost all to ourselves and we have a beautiful waterfront campsite. There are 14 miles of shoreline along this lake and the park is about 680 acres!!! It is amazingly awesome to look out our back bedroom window and see the lake. It's so nice that the boys can fish right behind the RV. They can fish 24/7 if they want :-). We've gone on a few bike rides and spent some time exploring the boat ramp down the street. Today, it's been raining off and on and Bryan had to drive to Greenville for meetings all day. The boys and I are holding down the fort. So far today, we've fished, taken walks between rain showers and played Pictionary on the XBox. We also have baked cookies in the NuWave and we're hunkered down right now watching Monsters Inc and eating popcorn. I think another walk may be in our near future!!!! We are very thankful that Bryan is out earning a living so that we can enjoy this adventure- Thanks Daddy!

The boys found a turtle... They named him Boxy and watched him mosey back into the woods

SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!  Braden pretended to be the Turtle Man and picked him up by his tail.  Not a great idea.
