Camping - Wednesday

Sorry it has taken me so long to get on here and post about our trip, but coming home from a trip like that has a lot of laundry to do, along with all my regular chores...

Okay, where did we go??? Caprock Canyons in Quitaque, Tx (West Texas).

We headed out Wednesday morning, and got to our campsite around 2:00. After getting the tent set up and all our gear in order, Daddio got a dinner fire going while I took the boys exploring. Our pad was located right near a ledge overlooking the Little Red Creek. The boys and I took turns throwing rocks over the ridge and into the water... that is hours of entertainment right there! Then it was time for dinner. We were able to take a short hike after dinner down to the creek bed and around the bend, then headed back to camp around sunset. It is truly amazing there, everywhere you turn is another awe inspiring sight.

Then it was time for S'mores, and bedtime for the boys! Daddio and I stayed up to enjoy the fire, and a little adult conversation... but were soon tucked away cozy in our sleeping bags for a toasty (thanks to the new tent heater) slumber.

Give away

I've wanted a fancy girly apron for quite some time now, and thanks to The Apronista my obsession is even stronger. She is hosting a give away for one of Heavenly Hostess amazing aprons. Please take a moment and hit both of these sites... and enter (either for yourself, or you men out there one for your wives!!!).

A few photos

I'll let MommaLlama write more about the trip details. But I thought I would post a few of the family portraits we took. The new camera has a 12-second timer which actually allowed me time to get into the shot (the old camera was only 5 seconds...) You can also get a remote control for it, but I don't have ALL of the toys just yet.

A different kind of portrait.

A silly one.

Update

Just got back from the best camping trip yet. Will post more details and photos soon.

Also, someone out there owes us the two hours of our lives we lost watching a certain movie recommendation. I won't name names or titles, but man, that was terrible. We're going to just follow our instincts from now on.

Funny

Let's start Monday off with some funnies!

Why, Why, Why
Do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "Lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVORITE......

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
