A trip to the hill country















There was lots and lots and lots of marshmallow roasting, tent unzipping, sand in the sleeping bags, fire building, hiking, peeing in the woods, hotdog eating, beautiful scenery and spring break family fun. I packed up these boys of mine and headed up to one of my favorite Texas spots, the hill country and Inks lake state park. Awesome week!

Sonny: ate all the burned marhmallows, tended a fire, took kids to pee in the woods, hiked with his boys, took care of us.

Kath: sprained her ankle, cooked outside,did not pee in the woods, watched all her boys have a blast.

Heath: Hiked, fished, peed in the woods (do you see the trip theme here),collected rocks, learned how to play horse shoes, burnt most of his marshmallows, learned how to build a fire and loved every minute of it.

Austin: lost a shoe, peed in the woods, roasted hot dogs, got really dirty and played hard in his favorite spot, outdoors and loved sleeping in the tent.

Conner: Wins the award for the best baby on a camping trip. Loved eating camping food, liked being outside, ate tons of marshmallows and never took his eyes off his brothers.

How fun! We are taking our baby camping this summer and I'm a little nervous about how that's going to go, he's only 6 months... :)

Anna, we did it with Conner when he was 4 months, and it went great. he does well in the pack and play and it was easy at that age, because they can't really go anywhere. We borrowed a backpack for him, I highly recommend that. If not you go home and pitch the tent in the living room for the kids. LOL!! Congrats on the new little guy.

Hey-I have had your address wrong on the side bar of my blog, so I don't check often enough, I am changing it right now. Look at all the fun things you guys have been doing! the kids look precious! the camping looked beautiful. I miss you so much and those cute boys! One 7 1/2 in particular is missed greatly by someone in our house. Hugs.
