At the end of January we went on our first family camping trip with our cousins to Sam Houston State Park in Hunstville, TX. I had been sick and feeling lousy at best but I didn't want to miss watching my kids camp for the first time. The boys seemed to love everything about the trip: the camp chairs, the fire, the tents, and the rocks and sticks. And what is camping without the S'mores? I made Clark some graham crackers and brought along a bar of his special chocolate so he could experience the iconic camping treat. I'm pretty sure he liked it since he's asked for more several times since the campout.
As is more often the case in my camping memory than not, I had a horrible night's sleep. I was lying next to Clark who was coughing in my ear extensively all night. But the sun came up and we went on a short hike which was truncated due to a 100-mile race being run on the trail where we were headed. oh well. The kids still seemed to have a great time.
Although that may have been one of my least favorite camping experiences--mostly due to being sick--I'm glad I went. a little. I mean, check out this camping hunk. Oh, baby!
On a positive note, I think everyone else enjoyed themselves, we were in great company, there were no bugs, and it was neither too hot nor too cold.
