Fall Camping

We love camping.  Living in Texas you have a pretty big camping season, since it doesn't get insanely cold and snowy in the winter.  It does, however, get wicked hot in the summer!  So Fall and Spring are the perfect seasons to camp in Texas.  Unfortunately those are our busiest times of the year, with football and soccer taking up every Saturday.  This Fall we got lucky on one Saturday and didn't have any games until noon.  So we packed up the car on Friday evening and snuck away for a quick one-nighter!  We went to Guadalupe State Park, which is just about 30 minutes away, and the weather was really nice.  Cool in the evening and in the morning, and...well, that's pretty much all we were there for!  It was a quick trip, but we take what we can get. 

A couple weeks later we took our annual camping trip to Enchanted Rock for Columbus Day.  This particular weekend we had a major cold front roll through, and we had lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s.  That is cold for a Texas October, and cold to be sleeping outside!  But we bundled up, dug out the old winter parkas for the girls, and we had a great time camping and hiking.
