Gone on several camping trips recently - each with it's own significant event. First of all, Laci loves to camp. She loves to be in the tent; she loves to be out doors; and she loves to hike. You can tell by the pictures here. She is starting to teeth and getting close to crawling. Since I've been so lax with this site recently, I'll have to condense everything for time sake.
First trip - to Eisenhower State Park (Lake Texoma) - definitely recommend. First time for me to camp just with my wife and child and no one else. lots of work to cook and clean all on your own.
Beautiful place.
Coolest thing was wearing a headlamp at night and seeing several gem-like blue shimmers on the ground. Thought it was really a gem and looked close to find it was a spider! Got Michelle to show her and pointed one out and - bummer - it was just a piece of glass. Thought I'd try another and found to be a spider! and another! and another!
In the end, when you knew what to look for, we saw HUNDREDS of little spiders - their eyes sparkling an eerie blue color. Kinda scary seeing as though they were all pointing at our tent - but still really cool.
Second trip - Eisenhower again with friends from church. Pretty little beach. Nice to have church service in the park.
Third trip - Loyd Park at Joe Pool Lake. Friend from work and many many others. This was cool because it was "Halloween" in the park. Everyone dressed their campsite like halloween and hundreds of kids rode through in pickups or hayrides and people threw candy to them. Ours was 60's style. Michelle and Laci loved it. (see pics of pumpkins). I burnt my arm hanging a coleman lantern. That will be a nice "temporary" tattoo for quite some time.
We may be going camping again soon. You can always invite us with you or come with us if you know we are headed out. I love having a wife that enjoys some outdoors.
Laci is teething, but that hasn't stopped her from having fun. Her eyes are still blue and can be really striking at times.
