Our camping crew set out to Bastrop State Park in search of a fun camping trip before the summer season made camping unbearable. The weather looked pretty gloomy and rainy, but we pressed on - hopeful we'd get some good stints here and there between showers. I'm so happy we did because in true Texas fashion, the weather was not nearly as bad as was originally predicted. Yay for us!
I was so excited to go to Bastrop because I've heard so many amazing things about the huge pine trees and pine needles all over the ground. It's not your normal mud and grass style camping and this campsite did not disappoint. The trees were simply amazing :)
Erin was riding her scooter down the hill like a skateboard. Pretty cool
Scooter gang!
It was supposed to rain so we tried to squeeze in a hike prior to the showers hitting
Before....
After! Yes - we did get stuck in a little rain shower, but it didn't last long. Carson and Lia were the only ones dressed for the occasion lol
Out catching fireflies. We were pretty successful too!
Stephen, me and the boys left for part of Saturday to attend Miles' baseball ceremony, but it looks like the girls had a blast playing in the rain
Scooter ride prior to getting in trouble by park officials... turns out motorized scooters are not allowed on the trails.
For Christmas, Becky and Todd got Stephen tickets to San Antonio's Monster Jam. Such a cool gift. We opted to upgrade and grab some pit passes as well so they could go see the trucks up close, get autographs and play around with the activities they had to offer. Stephen, Todd and the boys were pumped.
Miles started feeling bad and popped a fever during the show, so they opted to bow out a little early to get him home.
They had an awesome time. So much so that Stephen picked up some tickets to go see Monster Jam in Austin. This time, me and the girls were able to join! (Sorry Becky) Austin's show was at the Moody Center which isn't as large. There weren't as many trucks and the overall track was smaller.
The Dalmatian got some AIR
The tricks were cool to see - Grave Digger did a full blown back flip! Missed that on camera but pretty awesome.
We didn't take many pictures because the kids were running running running. But, Carson enjoyed his 4th birthday with all of his buddies at Little Land. Cake, friends and swings - all of Carson's favorites things :)
