baby booty shower!!

here's the mama to be - beautiful and glowing:-)

the edible pirate cake....

and all me ship mates...

we are a lively crew...

and precious to boot...

may your seas be calm sweet baby q

true campers, die hards, extremists, fanatics, over-acheivers, hard headed....

call us what you may - but we call ourselves

THE INCREDIBLE CAMPING CRIMS!!!

this last weekend we headed out to ft.richardson state park

and in spite of the weather we had a GREAT time -

it was actually one of the best times camping that we have had

because nana made me be a girl scout (thank you nana)

i am "always prepared":-)

here we are all decked out in our rain gear...

so we got all "geared" up and headed to the historical park
for more info. on the park go here(http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/media/pwd_br_p4506_0025l.pdf
(not you lili - you'd be bored:-)


this is a reconstruction of the fort hospital...

and the officer's barracks...

we also did a little exploring - our site was really cool and sat up on a rock ledge...

when not running around in the rain educating ourselves - we hung out in the camper and played games, read, talked - completely unplugged!!!!

even if you are not campers - i highly recommend "unplugging" as a weekend "treat"

between rain showers we saw some wildlife -

i think my new favoitest animal is the road runner!!!!

our last 2 camping trips we have "chased" road runners that looked like this -

SO FUNNY and OH SO FAST!!!!!!

this mama deer was out with her babies getting a quick snack before it started to rain again

and these beautiful cactus were every where...

even though we got out some we missed a large part of the park because of the rain -

as the saying goes - we'll be back

God willing and the creek don't rise...

back to work!!!

i am so glad that the time has come to get back to the classroom!!!!
