Labor Day Camping Trip!

We decided to go to Eisenhower State Park in Denison for the Labor Day weekend. It really was the perfect time to go, the weather was awesome-lows in the 50s and highs in the low 90s. We even had a nice north wind to enjoy!
The first day, I wanted to take Chase to see his first 'beach'...it was set in a perfectly protected cove, and was really beautiful.





He and Allison(his cousin) had a great time splashing, throwing rocks, and looking at dead fish that washed on the beach--one downside to a cove!

...He was way to excited to pose for a family pic. :)

It's not a camping trip until you get to roast marshmallows...


Chillin' by the campfire...

We went hiking, and with my ever-vigilant 'mom radar' I found this little bitty turtle stuck in the mud---Chase was brave, and held it. Then he and daddy took him back to the water.

We also found a great vantage point of Lake Texoma, it was a 30ft. cliff though (I was OVERLY protective of the kiddos here...)

On our last day, the kids took to the trees....great pics!


We really did have a great time, but I think next year will be even better....once Chase increases that attention span...and sees that being in the tent can be really fun. (we stayed in a screened shelter this time) More hiking, more fishing, more wondering of the beauty we are blessed to live in-I truly look forward to that! :)
