Camping in Mississippi

Cory is in charge of leasing at three different malls in Mississippi. Which means that he spends 3-4 days every other week in Mississippi. So we decided that since there's no school, we'd just go with him this week. We had SO MUCH FUN!! We camped out at a KOA campsite. If you've never camped at one, I definitely recommend it. We stayed in this cute little cabin (that has air conditioning and electricity) with a full size bed and bunk beds. Cory spent his days working and we spent our days playing and swimming. We will definitely be back in a couple of weeks.
We seriously spent like 6-8 hours at the pool everyday.

This was the first time the girls every played on a teeter totter. They played on it a lot!


Our cabin was the one on the left.




Picture taken from the inside of the cabin.



One of my favorite things were the gardenia bushes by the front porch. Everytime I got within a couple of feet of them I was totally in heaven because they SMELL so good!!!! I think I need to plant some in my own yard.





Hanging out on the front porch.





This tire swing was the girls favorite thing!! They loved it, especially when Daddy would swing them in it. Cory finally talked me into going for a swing in it. I was screaming like crazy. It doesn't look very scary from this picture, but Cory would get it going out really far and really high. In fact, at one point I remember saying to him " you better stop this right now unless you want to raise our children by yourself." I seriously thought that I was somehow going to fall out and die. I'm a dork, I know.








Cory would get home in the evening and join us in the pool. We had a lot of fun playing colored eggs, marco pool, and of course I just fell in love all over again with Cory as I watched him swim the butterfly (I always make him swim that stroke when we're in the pool because he does it so beautifully).







We have so much fun together as a family. I just couldn't imagine my life without my wonderful husband or my adorable little girls.

Sounds super fun and looks like you were camping in style! It's been way too long since we've been.

Whatever you do, just don't bring the gardenia's inside. I did that once, and the smell was so overpowering, I got a headache. I still don't enjoy gardenia's the same way!! They are lovely though.

SO glad you had a good time!

I found you in the blog world. Cute page. I stayed at a KOA campsite once. It was clean, fun, and cheap! Oh, I love the photos a few post back with the two girls making funny faces. Those are worth framing :)
