I took my family camping at Kettle Creek over the weekend. We spent the first night in my uncle’s camp, then stayed the second night in tents at the Kettle Creek Upper Campground.

Everything went incredibly well except for the flies that kept biting us to the point of drawing blood. Damn, that was annoying. That’s why four of us are wearing pants in that photo.

We got some firewood at a nearby shop where the first thing that happened was an 75+ year old man exited his home and called me a “flatlander“. I had no idea what the hell he was talking about, so I just grinned idiotically while asking him about firewood. If we go there again, I’m calling him a hillbilly.

Anyway, good time was had by all. I took my first drive on an ATV, learned that four year olds are wicked UNO players, and discovered that it is possible to make out while kayaking.
