"Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt."
–John Muir
Spring Break was this week and Mommy was determined to find things for the kids to do outside of the house. The first stop was the Dallas Aquarium. But instead of driving they took the train which was a new experience for the kids. According to them, the penguins took the top spot of animals to see.
We also took the kids out to Lake Mineral Wells for hiking and camping. We hiked for two miles along the shore and the kids had fun going up and down the rocks and through the trees. They were tired at the end, but James and Isla still found the energy to hike back to the car. The rest of the kids were picked up.
Back at the campsite we ate lunch and then set everything up. Isla helped with the tent while James gathered some sticks to start the fire with. We had the fire going fairly quickly which meant it was marshmallow roasting time. We played some cards before we went to bed and then weathered the storm that rolled through that night. Luckily the tent held up and nobody got wet.
