Camping

Carter and I with playing with glow sticks or as Carter puts it, "We were goosing around"

Larry, Cody Graham and Dusty Doyle

Last weekend Larry and I took Carter camping Saturday night. Of course, Natalie did not go, she stayed with my mom. I have a rule, that A.) the child is fully potty trained and B.) the child has had all their heart surgeries (aka Natalie).

Natalie stayed with my mom and of course she loved it. I think Natalie really enjoys that time with my mom and being away from Carter. When I dropped her off, she just waved bye and blew me a kiss.

We have some good friends with a ranch about an hour or so outside of Amarillo. Starting last year, they have one weekend where families all come out and camp out. If you have a motorized vehicle, like a jeep you bring it. Last year, just Carter and Larry went. Carter had not stopped talking about it since, so I was pretty excited to go this time.

We had probably around 6 or 7 families with kids and a few without kids spend the night on Saturday night. I am pretty sure Carter rode every jeep until the batteries were all dead. We cookout and the kids got to fish a little bit.

I must say, it did get a little colder than we all thought Saturday night. Carter and I started off sleeping on a blow up mattress with just the two of us in our sleeping bags, but around 2am, Carter woke up freezing, so Larry joined us and we sandwiched Carter on the full size blow up mattress.

The next morning we all got and and got packed up. I can not tell you how many times it took me washing my hair to actually get all the dirt out, but we had a blast and look forward to next year. Thanks you Graham's and Teuscher's for an awesome weekend!
