1st Camping Trip

We took the kids to the Davis Mountains for their very first camping trip.
The kids playing after setting up the tent.


Roasting marshmallows. There was a burn ban so we had to make due with our little grill. It actually worked out nicely because Colton pretty just ran all over the place. If he saw a truck he'd run over there and try to open their doors. So I'm glad we didn't have to worry about fires too.


We went and watched some birds. Which Kirsten actually thought was pretty awesome.



The greatest part was when a deer came up right next to us.


Kids settling down before bed.


Besides the fact that I was up pretty much all night with a cold, restless Colton and lots of animal noises. The trip was so much fun. I forgot how much fun camping is. Kirsten even said that she wanted to go once a month. When we woke up in the morning daddy made us some pancakes for breakfast, we went on a walk, and we got ready to go.
On the way home there's a place, called Balmorhea, that we've heard a lot about and we've been wanting go check out since we moved here. So we stopped by. We had heard that it was natural spring with fish and that you could see all the way to the bottom. It was basically a big swimming pool with fish in it. Kirsten did not like swimming with the fish and the water was really cold so we didn't stay long, but I guess now we can say we've done it.

It wasn't too hot to camp? We have turned into wimps. We use to camp a lot in Utah with SHaye, but don't want to have anything to do with a tent now! :-) Looks like you guys had fun!
