Spring Break Blast




Spring Break was a blast... after the E.R. visit. We had planned a Sea World trip that fell through. BUMMER. We had a "Staycation." First we went to Lake Granbury and went fishing. This is where the "idea" sparked... Fishing was nice though. Cameron always enjoys fishing!




While fishing, Van and I had a wild idea to go camping. I was thinking 20 minutes away at Tres Rios in Glen Rose. Van was on a different page... So, we headed to Turner Falls, OK. BOy was it an adventure...

We didn't leave until way too late in the afternoon. Once we got there we had about 2 hours until total darkness. We found a spot, got the tent up (yes, I said tent) and got the fire going. We ate hot dogs and then it was 7:00p.m... and pitch black. So, we watched Veggie Tales on the Mac in the tent! HA! After a very long night, or short I guess, Van and I finally could not go back to sleep at about 3:30 am. We were sore, sleepy and ready to go! So, we put Cameron in the car, packed up our camp and headed to IHOP. (HA!) After a few hours of waiting for daylight, we finally got out and looked around the camp grounds. It was very pretty. (MENTAL NOTE: I will be RENTING to cabin next time!!!!!!) We drove home and went to bed :) We totally want to go again with cabins and other people :) Cameron loved it though!





After a couple days at home we went to Glen Rose to see the Dino Valley State park. It was pretty nest. Cameron is SO dino crazed that he just knew the dinos were going to come walking around the corner any minute! So cute!





A Real Dino Foot Print!

By then end we were pleased. Cameron had a great spring break and so did we. Van's vacation was a blast! The camping trip should have been sent into America's Funniest Home Movies. It was insane :)

Holly Lake Ranch

On Sunday afternoon, Cameron and I took a little trip to Holly Lake Ranch to visit Mamaw. From Granbury it is a 4 hour drive, if we only stop once. BUT Cameron did great in the car and the drive was very pretty. We had a really nice time seeing Mamaw! I am sort of silly though. Once arriving at the hidden paradise, we began to see MANY animals. I was so amazed at the deer. I took 106 pictures, 73 of which are deer or foxes. I have seen a deer before. but I guess I needed 73 pictures of them! HAHA. Not too worry, I will not post only pictures of the wildlife.
