it's been a long long time and i've missed it!!!!

we went camping!!!

obviously - as it rained all day saturday and it doesn't rain unless we are camping

- again -

we apologize for the drought this summer

it was just too hot to go camping and we spoiled it for the whole state of texas!

anywho

the boys have been asking to go back to dino valley

this was the very first camping trip we made 4 years ago when we bought the camper

g.money was 7 - j.man was 5

bare with me and i'll get to the before and after pics:-)

as usual - we didn't arrive until dark

we managed to get the camper set up before the rain began -

the Lord had us in the perfect place and we were able to sit under our awning while the rain came down

so saturday monrnig looked like this

which is still good for us 

we listened to the rain on the camper and cuddled in

for the perfect nap

we played board games

and watched a movie together

then we made our dinner - which consisted of

butterflied porkchops stuffed with cheese, cilantro and jalapenos

stuffing.....

grilling....

ready to eat!!!!

sunday we headed out to check out the dino tracks

but with all the rain - and apparently - some flood in 09 -?-

this is what we saw...

but the day was perfect for camping

we were able to get some photos of tracks that were taken from the site and put near the ranger station

this is the 2012 pic...
