Vacation: Chapter One

The morning after Christmas found our family on the road with our dear friends heading to our vacation destination, Desoto State Park, in Ft. Payne, Alabama. Originally, only one family had planned to join us, but on Christmas day the Js packed their bags in a flurry, and decided to come along. It was a lovely last-minute surprise!
We've been anticipating this vacation for a couple of months now, so when the time finally came, we couldn't wait to enjoy a week of almost nothing but hiking-- all day, every day! And that's a basic summary of what we did!
We Floridians were thrilled to be greeted by "lots" of snow upon arriving at our cozy little cabins. It melted a tiny bit each day, but we were able to enjoy it almost the entire duration of our stay.

On Sunday night we had a great time playing around in the falling snow. Some of us had a big snowball fight...
...while others just tried to stay warm.

Stay tuned for Chapter 2: A Day in the Life of the Vacationers
