Camping

{Original post written mid November}

Joseph and I had the opportunity to take the gals camping, so we jumped in last minute and drove the short (or long...with two kids) three hours to Rowden, TX for a nice weekend away "camping" with friends and our sweet girlies. 

Our friends have built an awesome bunkhouse on their family property complete with two RVs, a tractor, and a great campfire spot. Charley was soooooo excited and just about fell even more in love with the outdoors than she already was. Here are some pics from the weekend...

All loaded up and ready to go! 


The first night: getting acquainted with everyone and trying out their new chairs! (Liza is not amused!) 


Day 1: Charley Cate in front of the trailer. This is "real camping!" We had a blast walking the property and exploring, building rock castles, and eating! 


Liza with a mess of toys. She had a great time crawling around inside and loved the attention from new people! 


Crecia entertaining the girls with her accordion skills. :)


Charley and Charley Baby waiting for the boys to build a fire! 


It was cold but we all fared well. 


Charley adores her Uncle Chris, as he does her. It's so sweet, these two. 


Dusk and the campfire. Bliss. 


She needed to rock her Charley Baby. 


After the girls went to sleep the guys and Ellen busted out the guitars. I roasted myself some marshmallows and got sleepy by the fire. Just what I needed :)



It was a great weekend away with super people and excellent food. Joseph and I were very pleased with the girls and their good behavior. Char was more than happy to make new friends, like Pedro (aka our friend Colby)! She just randomly started calling him Pedro, so Pedro it was! Hahaha! She also called our trailer "my train" and referred to outside as "my new backyard". (Can you tell we have hit the ego stage of development over here?) She was an absolute hoot and any time she could, so ALL the time, she wanted to go outside. 

It was country living at it's finest and so fun. Thanks to the Reynolds family for hosting us and accommodating our young girls.
