Sophie's First Camping Trip--Cumberland Falls

Way back in October, we took Sophie on her first camping trip to Cumberland Falls. Our first attempt had been at the end of September, but we were rained out, so off we trekked again to the campground in October. On the way, we stopped at the Sanders Cafe (the original KFC). It was a strange mix between a normal KFC and an old cabin/cafe.

We had to pose with the Colonel:

We finally got to the campground and set up our new, larger tent.

Sophie enjoyed her first camping meal!

And after dinner, Daddy started a fire so we could roast marshmallows. He also told her some not-so-scary campfire stories while I cleaned up.

By the end of the day, she was exhausted!

We were able to visit the falls, and as you can tell by how tight Sophie was holding on to us, she was a little scared of them...

Sophie also enjoyed throwing rocks into the river...what kid doesn't?!

Hiking with Mommy and Daddy:

So Big...and So Sleepy!

Daddy's finally home, and Sophie is very glad to have him home (as is Mommy!). We both think that Sophie has gotten bigger since he left, and she's learned a couple of new tricks.

She has finally learned the "So Big" game:

And she has taken to sleeping on her knees--I think it's so she can start crawling as soon as she wakes up! She doesn't want to be slowed down by anything, including sleeping position!

Sleepy Girl

Sophie is not the kind of girl to skip a meal, but this week has been hard on her because of the time change. She fell asleep while eating earlier this week (which she never does!) and was like a rag doll when Ian was trying to burp her! I thought the pictures of the whole episode were kind of cute...
