Ahhhhh....... School's out for the summer!!!!!
We spent Father's Day Weekend at Hardridge Creek Campground on Walter F. George Lake in Abbeville, AL. What a wonderful weekend.
Pros: ok bike riding, swimming during the warmer months is possible if you dare, dog friendly, nice paved campsites, nice sites with plenty of shade, beach area was almost private and only steps away from the campsite
Cons: Ants, Ants, and more ANTS!!! The ants were inside, outside, everywhere. Easier to avoid but equally disturbing... leaches... in the grass where we were swimming. Tiny leaches would attach themselves to you if you stood or played in the grassy areas of the water. AVOID the grassy areas!!!
My family gives this campground/park a not so good rating. I am almost positive we will not return to this campground. Maybe it would be better in the winter when the bugs might not be so bad and swimming wouldn't be a possibility???

Let the good times roll...... |

The girls loved paddling around in the lily pads. |
|
and collecting flowers. |

The boy took good care of us. |

Sometimes on Saturday afternoons we have a "happy hour". We put out fun snacks to share with everyone and do a little socializing. Here the girls are teaming up against the dads during a "friendly" game of Uno while eating a delicious poundcake that was made with love by one of our favorite Nana's - - - Linda Webb --- AKA Mama Webb. |

While the girls were winning at Uno, Connor was checking out the fishing scene..... |

Happy Fathers Day!!! |
