I've been DYING to get some good camping in for um, a few years now. I've since discovered that 'waiting' for summer to go camping in Texas isn't necessarily "smart". I'm slowly learning to change my mind set in that there really is no need to pack a sweatshirt, a battery-powered fan and netted shade is a MUST! {just to name a few}
I reserved a camp site and away we went. *Note to self* If there are reservations available two weeks before Memorial Day weekend there is probably a reason. To sum up there were alligaters in the water that had risen 6 feet so there was NO beach {all marshy grass} and more bugs than should exist in one campsite. Our friends Scott and Paige met us for the weekend so at least we had good company :) We woke up the next morning, admired some wildlife {birds, bunnies, deer, wild turkeys, a turtle and afor mentioned alligaters) packed up and headed to the gulf.

It was hot, so the ocean breeze was welcome and the water was PERFECT! We had a spot on the beach and we were going to set up camp again but decided to save ourselves the trouble and just made the day of it and headed home.
Not to worry, we cooked smores off our patio and even broke out the dutch oven. We spent the rest of our mornings watching movies, days at the pool, and nights game-ing it up with the comfort of the ac.
Rylee's "first" wrinkled toes. The gentle waves of the water rocked her to sleep every time :) what a trouper.

That little girl has a facial expression for everything she does. I love the first picture... Ooooo, Mom, I am not so sure about this place. :)
I just love that you take her everywhere...make her a part of your fun life instead of doing everything for her. She will be so well adjusted and have such great memories.
Ooh swimming with alligators or AC? Looks like a fun weekend-even if plans changed.
Love Rylee's swimming suit. She is a doll.
Becky-
yea, there was another picture at the beach where Rylee looked happier, i however, didn't look so swell and since this is MY blog. I won.
I'm impressed with how fast you got your pictures and stuff up!! I don't even think we were back in Houston and you had them up. I think next time we can just save gas and time and set up camp in the backyard. We had a fabulous time with you guys (as always)!
Come to Lake Tahoe for the 4th of July!! Just a thought.
