Spring Break 2011

I think everybody has their favorite road trip candy-- you know the one you stop at the gas station to get- the candy that makes you so happy you forget you are stuck in the car for hours on end... mine is cherry sours, Luke's is WORMS!

Our adventure awaits us! We camped in the "primitive camping" section... this would also be known as hike in and pack it out...

Luke and Allie leading the way on the trail! They both LOVED the woods!

Our campsite:

Hot dogs:

All set in the tent!

Glow sticks... trying to get Luke to sleep took an hour and a half because he thought sleeping in the tent was so fun.

Di Di's made it too!

We threw a lot of rocks in the water.


The boys tried to catch minnows

And then we moved on to the hotel... this is how I roll!

A night out on the town... we stopped at the Granbury square and ate at Babes, then had ice cream. Brent played some Elvis on the jukebox and Luke played an air guitar

Memaw sent Luke a $5 bill for St. Patrick's Day... we let him go to the gift shop and spend his money on whatever he wanted... he got the concept down really fast!
Here was his selection-- a dinosaur stick that makes a noise when you turn it on it's end:
And a dinosaur figure... this guy went EVERYWHERE with us! Luke was proud of him and even told a lady at the hotel he bought it with his own money! Ha!

Dinosaurs:

Tracks:

It was so fun to be with my boys 24-7... Brent didn't think a second about school and we all had a much needed break!
