The girls have been wanting to camp for a LONG time, but the weather here in Texas is NOT good for camping except for about 2 months a year... in the fall and in the spring. We decided last minute that we would camp in our backyard one Friday. It was a surprise for the girls. We planned on using our BBQ to make S'mores and tinfoil dinners. It was going to be AWESOME! Someone had other plans for us though...
It rained! I am a party pooper apparently, because I don't like to camp in the rain. So... we built an awesome fort in the living room and let the girls sleep in it and watch movies. (That's better than camping anyway!) And, I got to sleep in my comfy bed. Perfect!
For fun, we like to go to the Heard Wildlife Museum and Sanctuary and hike around. We have been a couple of times this fall, and it is wonderful. There are awesome trails and it is always a lot of fun! They recently got some turtle statues out front, which my girls like! It's the little things, right?!?
One day, Dave brought home a skeleton... it was only a partial skeleton... one arm and one leg. It didn't matter. Chloe, Brooke, and Autumn played with it. They named it, too. I think it was Steve. (Or something like that.) Chloe was playing with the skull mostly, while Brooke and Autumn played with the other bones. They had so much fun. Only the children of a scientist would have bones to play with... (and enjoy it!)!!
