Camping - Guadalupe State Park

July 2,3 and 4
We had promised the kids we would take them camping, but never got around to it in the spring (spring and fall are camping seasons in Texas, not summer). We thought we would have to wait until October, and then the strangest weather came about. Low 90's during the day and low 60's at night, perfect camping weather!! We picked a walk-in camp site that backed up right to the guadalupe river. We spend the hot days swimming in the river and exploring. At night we saw raccoons, who tried to eat our food, armadillos, fireflies and rabbits. The kids slept great in the tent both nights, and we all had so much fun with no mishaps!

Kelsey had only been walking about 2 weeks when we went camping, so the uneven terrain was a little tricky. She was covered in dirt most of the time, but seemed quite comfortable in it! 
Too cute to be camping! Dantz hauling in her pillow to the campsite from the car!
We had a small  hike from our campsite to the river. Water was chanelled using rocks to create a rapid section and let's just say Brett was in heaven. He probably went on the "slide" 50 times in our three trip to the river.
Buddies.
Dantzel organized the chairs like so, they are such cute friends.

We survived 3 days 2 nights camping with a 4, 2, and 1 year old and we had a GREAT time, with lots of fun family memories.
