Camping

Last month we went camping to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, TX. We had so much fun!!! We went with our friends the Koenigs and the Boyers. Jacob loves camping and he loved it even more this time because he was not the only kid. The kids had so much fun playing and exploring. We only went for one night but we decided that next time we have to go for at least 2. All of the prep and setting up is a lot for only 1 night. I loved this park because even though it was Memorial Day weekend it was not too busy, they only have around 40 campsites. We roasted hot dogs and smores for dinner and breakfast was egg, cheese, bacon, and sausage omelets. The guys did a great job making breakfast. After we were all packed up we headed over to the river bed where you can walk around and look at dinosaur tracks and play in the water. My goal was to walk down the river with only getting my legs wet (it wasn't that deep) ya well not only did I fall in once but twice! It was so much fun and Jacob loved it! We will definitely be going there again.

Court, Hil, and I. I love these girls!!!

Scott and Courtney. Hilary and Bryan.

Kevin and I. The kids decided to make grilled watermelon. I was the lucky first customer of this great creation. I bit into a big crunch of dirt and so they decided to cook it on a skewer instead of a dirty stick. Luckily everyone else had dirt free watermelon.

Jordan and Camden...my friends sure do have cute kiddos.

Beckam, he was a little surprised by my picture taking.

The guys making breakfast...yummy!

Jacob loved hanging out in this tree.

All of us!!!

Gardening...my newest obsession!

So I still have not posted about our camping trip over Memorial Day weekend...I will eventually. I am off to girls camp tomorrow so I just wanted to post real quick (for those of you on Facebook you may have already seen these...I'm sorry) the most beautiful vegetables in the whole world. That's right these are straight out of our very first garden.

We have already picked 5 yellow squash out and there are many more about to be ready. I have been keeping an eye on the green summer squash (so I thought) and there are a ton of flowers but I didn't see any squash...until today.
I must have missed this one, obviously. I think it is a little too big, but o'well. There is another one that is much smaller that I will have to watch more closely. We are going to grill us some squash tonight, YAY!!! I can't wait for the cucumbers and cantaloupe to show up.
