Camping





We camped at Bastrop State Park (Lost Pines) this weekend.

  • Great times with our friends - Polly, Paul & Jesse
  • No mosquitoes(!)
  • Beautiful weather
  • Easy hiking for the boys with fresh blackberry snacks along the way
  • Fun fishing in the little lake & we even caught a few bass
  • Nice campsites & it felt like we were the only ones there under the shade of the huge pines

We're ready to go again!


Things they learned...


While the 2 cousins were together...
Benjamin learned to:
~share toys
~be a little gentler
~share his Nana & Papa

and...Damion learned to tolerate Benjamin's hugs!

Fun Times...

Well, Auntie Amy & cousin Damion have been here for almost a week now. We've had a great time with them. However most recently Benjamin is getting new teeth & also has a fever (is 102.6 normal for teething???!!). So, we've had sleeping issues & plus a sick Daddy. Sinus infection? Allergies? In any case, not fun for any of us!

Things we've done with Cousin Damion:


  • visits & lunch with Great Grandma & Grandpa

  • photo session with the boys

  • play time & learning to share

  • visiting IKEA

  • Childrens' Museum

  • lunch with friends
