Camping at Davis Mountain State Park
We went camping this weekend with The Svatek’s. We had a good time. However… I do not highly recommend camping with babies (especially sick ones). All in all, we had fun, but Gabriel hates to be put down, and unfortunately he got sick and hated it even more. We hiked around the Ft. Davis remains and hiked up a “mountain”. That was pretty cool, but I didn’t get any pictures. We also went to the McDonald Observatory for a tour of the facility during the daytime and a Star Party at night. That was pretty cool, but it didn’t even start till 9:30, so I’m sure you can imagine how much fun it was for the kids. Noah got to look through the telescopes and his favorite thing to see was the moon. He said it looked like a “big giant piece of cheese.”
Everytime we put Dalton and Gabriel together, Dalton would tackle Gabriel. I’m certain that he was just trying to make him stop crying, but alas… it didn’t work. Dalton is too cute. He gets around so much, it’s amazing. Hopefully Gabriel took some notes and will be following his lead (literally).
Both of the babies had a lovely redneck bath at the campsite and enjoyed themselves.
Chris and Mike took Noah on a hike up the mountain behind our campsite. If you look closely, you’ll see Noah’s hand in Chris’s on the left.
Noah really likes Shannon. He spent a lot of time following her around and seeing if she needed any “help.”
Gabriel really likes his carrier. He went to sleep almost every time he was in it.
Noah had Krazy Kolors ice cream from “The Caboose”. I do not recommend this to others. The boys enjoyed a game of football at the campsite one afternoon. Unfortunately, the game was ill-fated. Noah fell and scraped his knee (barely), and that was the end.
The playpens were very nice to have around for Dalton. I would like to say that Gabriel got use from them too, but he did not cooperate with that plan. Noah thought that our air mattress bed was pretty cool. I think he even called it a “silly stage.”
