Clay and the boys found the perfect spot to camp when they came to Cloudcroft in the spring for the father and sons campout. So we decided to try it out! It was a beautiful spot...open valley and trees to play cops and robbers in, clearing to ride motorcycles, and hiking close by. We had thunderstorms every night that made things interesting... it freaked the kids out and rained cats and dogs! But, we can't fault the kids too much...Laura also got freaked out on this trip... she heard a grunting noise outside her tent and she laid frozen in bed trying to muster up the courage to look outside the tent to see if it was a bear....thank goodness it was just a cow grunting his way through his morning breakfast of grass....whew. Yes, we shared our camping spot with a herd of cattle they would join us every morning and every evening to get their daily water and a salt lick. Needless to say, this camping trip was quite the adventure....and probably the last for a while... or until Erica sleeps through the night. Sleeping with a baby (or not sleeping with a baby) in a tent is pretty awful....so after 2 days of high adventure with the cows, storms, and a sleepless baby we were ALL ready to go back home!
Erica got her first skateboard lesson from Preston and Detric.
Preston and CJ staked out a chipmunk in a log and got out their big guns to try and take it out...unfortunately the little rodent outsmarted them on this trip...next time boys...next time!
