Mike and I LOVE to go camping so we managed to take a few days off and head to Greer...
The first couple days we had just the right amount of clouds and rain 
We did activities like couponing
We drove 5 hours to watch movies we have never seen on a 10 inch screen! 
We HAVE to play Phase 10... This pic shows a really bad hand... but I managed to remain the Phase 10 QUEEN! 
We shopped at the local stores 
One of our favorite gift shops
The scenery was BEAUTIFUL
Wildflowers were everywhere
I loved all the little creeks
Lots of paths to follow
We didn't actually hike (kinda old)... but we WALKED many trails that we found
we found some interesting spots to rest 
We HAD to go on several walks cuz we ate so dang much food!
Dutch oven cobbler... WAY yum!
Not only did we cook some amazing stuff at camp we ate twice at the Molly Butler lodge... It was so good and the view is great. While we were eating dinner there we watched deer out the window.. THAT'S not something that you can do at just any restuarant!
Not only did we eat well... but we shared with the little woodsy critters.
There were lots of noisy bluejays
We bought a hummingbird feeder cuz we noticed some hummingbirds flitting around. But I learned that hummingbirds are NOT cute little birds humming a happy tune. They do NOT share and are very mean to each other. I have now determined they are evil and have put them in the same category as snakes!
This guy we nicknamed Chubby. In this pic he is right by my foot. He shoved so much food in his cheeks and kept coming back for more. We fed them peanut butter sandwiches, bread, grapes, potatoes, granola bars and gingersnaps. By the last day this guy passed everything up and only went for the gingersnaps. I hope he is doing OK and not having gingersnap withdrawals.
Friday night we had a fireside... without singing... but a great scripture discussion... and finished it off with smores...
Well... I finished up with smores... Mike doesn't like them... I don't know how anyone CAN'T LIKE SMORES!!! This is my easy recipe for smores... chocolate covered graham crackers and roasty toasty marshmellows. YUM! We had a great relaxing trip and were very sad to come home... especially to 116 degrees! Time to plan another trip!
