Happy campers

Last Friday night Clay and I took a little overnight getaway with the Pilgrims to Loyd Park in Grand Prairie.  We bought the camper for family bonding, but hey, nothing says family bonding like a rested mom and dad!  My parents graciously kept our kids, and Nicole's mom answered the call to keep their kids and off we went.  It was hot as blazes and we really didn't even care.  The guys didn't get out there until after 6:00 Friday night, so that allowed Nicole and I to get nice and caught up on all of the celebrity scandals and goings on.  We grilled burgers Friday night, and apparently I packed our food in a hurry because we didn't have ANYTHING to season the burgers.  My incredibly "inventive" husband decided to put barbeque bean juice on the burgers, and they actually weren't bad.  We ate a lot of junk food and caffeinated ourselves into obliviion and delusion, and then had a really good breakfast that didn't involve bibs, booster seats or spilled drinks.  We walked around the lake for a while and then headed back home to retrieve the kiddos.  While many people would not see camping as a getaway, it was just what we needed.

  1. I think everyone should have a barbeque bean burger at least once in their life. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us...we had a GREAT time!

  2. You were in my neck of the woods! I live just over the lake. How fun! I used to go camping all the time and I loved it. My husband prefers cool air, so it will be a while before we can go camping, but I definitely want to check it out.
