I love Texas (well okay just fall, winter and springtime.) It's October and we're still warm enough in the evening to go camping. This last summer Ryan and I decided that we wanted to do more things together as a family so we bought a tent, sleeping bags and some other camping gear. We made plans to go but something always came up and we couldn't go after all. We camped at Lake Ray Roberts State Park. It's only about 40 minutes away from home so it was a nice place to camp. However it did take us a little longer than 40 minutes to get there...we got a little lost. We took off the wrong exit and drove all the way around the lake before we found the right place. Because we started off a tad late, plus the longer drive we ended up putting the tent up in the dark. Luckily our tent is fairly simple to put up and we put it up in the backyard so we knew what we were doing.
Abby loved being outside. Her favorite thing was throwing rocks into the lake. The boys tried to skip rocks with Ryan. I tried to skip the rocks and failed miserably. The boys also loved "roughing it" by going potty in the bushes. There was a outhouse type restroom just down the path but they got their kicks by being "one" with nature.
We all had a good time. I think we're planning on another trip in a few weeks. This next time around we'll get brave and make tin foil dinners and attempt a dutch oven cobbler. Never made one of those before. I guess I better learn how to cure my dutch oven!

How fun! We always talk about going camping--we talk about it until it is too cold to go. Maybe we will get to it next year. Here's hoping.
