We decided to head down more south near Co. Springs this past weekend. Labor Day weekend, ending of summer, beginning of chilly temps. We headed off to meet all the family and a couple friends- 14 of us. We took Josh's car this time around- yeah, left a few centimeters for kids and a dog to breathe. We took only what we needed...........but came to the conclusion that what we need is a bigger vehicle.
Got a bit lost on the way (limited cell phone service, arrrggh!) and finally found the first 2 outdoor boys.
Set up camp and dug out our coats 'cuz the temps were dropping. Oh yea, us whimpy Texans were in for a cooold night. I had 4 layers on, a hat, gloves. FOUR layers, people.
Had serious envy of the two incredible campers in our big campsite with potty, heat, water, comfy sleeping, fridge conveniences...(they did share!:)
while we FROZE our toes and noses and other body parts off in the 29 degree night!
(Mother nature doesn't mess around here, Bam!... September= COLD.)
Josh attempted cooking our chicken, potatoes (they never really got baked) and corn on the cob OVER THE FIRE again. (Oh, help us.) The attempt somewhat failed.
BUT experienced Co. camper, Steveo, filled up our bellies by whipping out his new cast iron stove and cooked up the most delicious fresh apple cobbler. Over the fire AND....a'la mode.
We defrosted the next morning and enjoyed all Steve/Heathers "toys". We love that they share their toys!! Here is Mom shooting paint guns...and she even went 4-wheeling- You GO, woman!
And T with his bubbles gun- You GO, boy!
cutest camper EVER I must say
two more cutie campers EVER too :)
All in all, a great couple days! (Minus the freezing our butts off part.)
So much beauty. So many memories.
Soakin' it all up for the year.
See ya next Spring, Mr. Tent.
