We had a great camping trip last weekend. We stayed 2 nights in Hanging Rock State Park. After getting lost on the way, (and me complaining for the millionth time about not have a GPS,) we finally made it and set up camp. We roasted hot dogs that first night and then went on a short hike down to the lake. We ended the first day with s'mores. It was a beautiful area and perfect fall weather. We had a heater in the camper, although we couldn't get it to work. Thankfully I had packed tons of blankets so we stayed pretty warm at night.
Our first big hike the next day was to Hanging Rock, a beautiful area that looks out over the Piedmont Valley. It was only a 1 mile hike, so we thought it would be no problem. Well, we didn't know it was uphill most of the way, pretty steep for some of it. But the kids did awesome and made it without complaining. We had a lunch up on the rocks, played a little, then hiked down, ready for a nap (at least Bruce and I were.) Travis made it almost the whole way. About 1/4 mile from the parking lot he decided he just couldn't go any farther, so Bruce carried him the rest of the way.
Later that day and the next day we hiked some shorter, easier trails that led to waterfalls. The kids loved climbing all the rocks and exploring the area. We love this park and can't wait to camp there again.
I love these photos.
Courtney wanted me to take her picture on this rock.
Then, Dylan decided he wanted to copy Courtney and climbed up so I could take his picture.
Then, Travis couldn't be left out, so he climbed up and copied Dylan's pose with a hand on his hip. It was so funny and cute.

Sounds so fun, and a beautiful area! I love your pictures!
How fun! What a great spot! I love Travis' pose.
The reason why the guard of the triangle is very effective is because it can be used to trap or pin an opponent on the ground. However, it does require that the BJJ fighter has striking good skills and is able to control his opponent. You are curious to know more about best jiu jitsu rash guards, find out here.
