We had a good time I think. . .lol but I don't like cold! My nose nearly froze off during the night so I didn't sleep well because I was worried my son was cold. He woke up only once and said his hands were cold so I held them and he went right back to sleep.
Hubby putting up the tent!
We found a PERFECT spot nestled under some really big trees on the edge of a big empty field that had a view of the overlook but no nearby camping sites!!! Plus we were right by the trail so we could amuse ourselves by waving at all the trail riders as they went by! We will certainly camp in that spot again!
Wyatt approved of our tent!! It's the first time we've used this one and it was VERY roomy!! And nice during the day! We of course put the cover over it at night!
Playing with his new Army men. . which were the favorite of the trip!
First 'traffic'!
So of course we had to play in the tent once it was up!!! It was actually almost nap time. . .
But we played for a while anyways!
But naptime eventually had to arrive. . . no problems napping in the tent!!
Our 'kitchen' area
The whole campsite.
Every campsite needs a crazy pumpkin plate holder!!! lol
While Wyatt was napping I left my hubby reclining in his camp chair and went home to feed horses and get my dog Sable. Shes never been camping either! She had a good time. Of course during the middle of the night when the coyotes started howling she decided to get into touch with her wild side and joined in for a few courses!! Her howling is lovely but it's a little loud when she is sitting right next to my feet in our tent. Lol. So needless to say she got kicked off the air mattress and into the truck for the rest of the night!
Another happy Sable shot!! She was tied to a tree because she has a tendency to wander some. . always comes back. . . but didn't want to lose her on the Grasslands.
After naptime the boys set the grill up and decided to explore before they cooked dinner!
Then they set off and I did what I do. . .I watched through my camera lens. I swear I see the best parts of life through my lens!
While they were exploring I took photos of the area. . . evidently only 1 tree in 100 thinks it's Fall! This is from the overlook we can see from our campsite!
The boys brought me back a flower. Awww
The sun started to set so the boys started getting a campfire ready. (or rather Wyatt returned to playing and Daddy worked on the campfire)
I decided smoke is pretty!
And so is fire!
After we ate dinner we decided to call it an early night (it was around 9:30 or so) and Wyatt and I pilled into our tent and changed into our pajamas. We got cuddled up on our air mattress under our many blankets and my hubby stayed up for a while and watched the fire die out.
The next thing I remember is waking up around 2 a.m. and being frozen solid!!! I tried covering Wyatt up with a blanket all the way over his head but he protested. So we cuddled up until Sable interupted us with her singing. After that I don't think I went back to sleep really. So needless to say I was VERY happy to see this:
Sunrise!!!! Yay!!! I'm a sissy. I climbed into my truck and turned the heater on and watched the sunrise a bit. (The boys claimed my covers in the tent and cuddled up closer and evidently fell back asleep!)
That one is my favorite shot of the trip. . lol
About 7a.m. two big ol' trucks and riggs pulled up RIGHT beside our campsite in the big field and unloaded these horses and took off on a ride. Have to admire their dedication!! It was early!! But they only road for around an hour!! But they woke my kid up so he of course had to get up and play!
The sun goes up just as fast as it goes down evidently!
Sable waited on breakfast very patiently while my husband got the fire going again! I love fire!
And of course the boy played in his pajamas for a while. Oh to be a kid!! The first thing you do in the morning is hard physcal labor but it's fun!!
So we decided that one night was enough for us and that we'd go fishing and then break camp!
Are there any fish in there?
I don't know Dad. . .that spot over there looks promising!!
Well evidently the only fish Wyatt can catch are the cute little rubber ones that go on the end of kids fishing poles. (Cause hooks are DANGEROUS on a 3 year old's line!)
So that was the end of our trip!! We had a great time and will do it again!! Just not anytime soon!!
