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...
