Camping at Lake Whitney

Hello everyone,
We went camping during Easter weekend, it was an adventure!
We had an egg hunt, drove around in the back of a pick-up truck looking for some cliffs to jump off of, were hit by a thunderstorm and had to find shelter, almost got deported for picking up bluebonnets... An adventure!

Laurel and I arrived first at the camp site. And look at how well we packed the truck!

This is our tent!



At night, the guys had a light show. Jay wrote his name in light.

Morning after. Marina is in charge of the bacon.

Lizzie was the scrambled egg master

Jay woke up a bit late...

Breakfast is served!

Bluebonnets

Indian paint brush

Trilobite fossil

And shell fossil

Lizzie found this really cool trilobite fossil




Back at the camp site for lunch, the guys played ladder ball.


Then we had the egg hunt!
The guys were nice enough to hide all the chocolate while we went to buy fire wood (and sangria)
It was fun!


Then, a storm was brewing on the horizon, so we moved to a sheltered area.

Some more bluebonnets...






Lots of marshmallow bunnies were harmed during the taking of these pictures.


Time for bed after a loooong day


The morning after. There was a big thunderstorm during the night, we were happy to have moved to the shelter!

Finally, we found the cliff! We didn't jump this time but we'll be back...


That's the spot!
