Last weekend we went camping at Tims Ford State Park in Winchester, TN. It was Lucy's first camping experience. We have been wanting to go all summer so we finally took the opportunity to go with Josh's dad and some friends from Chattanooga. It was a little chilly but we stayed in a pop-up camper and had a heater going at night. Lucy did great and really seemed to enjoy it :)
She loved watching the campfire. Here she is with Josh's dad (Pawpaw)
Saturday we drove over to Lynchburg, TN to the 21st Annual Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue. Barbecue teams from around the world come to compete for cash prizes and bragging rights. There were people set up everywhere cooking barbecue.
There were also games, cloggers, country music, funnel cakes, a country dog contest, and free tours of the Jack Daniel distillery. An estimated 25,ooo people come to this event every year.
We stopped at the 4-H display so Lucy could see the animals :)
Checking out all the animals...horses, bunnies, goats, chickens and roosters.
This was the main pavilion were all the judging was done. They judged a different category every 30 minutes (chicken, brisket, ribs etc.) If you hung around long enough they would give out free samples.
...taking a break from all the excitement :)
After all the judging was finished they started handing out the leftovers.
...standing in line for some yummy barbecue
pooped out :)
When we got back to the campground we went next door to the neighbors camper to watch the UT/Alabama game. Now that Lucy can crawl around she gets tired of being held so I set up a blanket with some toys to try and keep her occupied. She's not much of a football fan, lol
silly Daddy put a caterpillar on her head...
she didn't seem to mind :)
I can't wait to go camping again. It was so much fun!
