Camping Was A Success!!

Wow, we had sooo much fun on our trip! We went to Garner State Park, which is in Hill Country just west of San Antonio. It is so beautiful and quite breathtaking - especially if you live where we do where the land is all flat. That picture above was the scenery from our camp site. What a sight to wake up to every morning.

Brenna was so good and loved every minute of it (well except when I MADE her take a cold shower cuz there was no hot water LOL). We played in the river every day and went tubing two miles the day after we got there. It was fun cooking on the fire and roasting marshmallows at night. The site we got was just about 30 yards from the bathrooms and showers, so that was nice, especially when I got woken up at 7am to a little voice saying, "Mommy, I have to go potty."

We also went hiking one morning and hiked to the very top of that hill in the picture above. Brenna did GREAT and we were both highly impressed with her. She was such a little trooper and never once complained. We were not going to go all the way but SHE is the one who insisted and kept pushing US to keep going. I told her that she was probably the very first five year old to ever go up there. That made her happy. :)

We are definitely going to make this a yearly thing. We got a State Park book and would like to take about two camping trips a year. I am so glad that Brenna likes it as much as we do.
I created an album with all the pictures from our trip so if you want to take a look then click on this link....
