A little camping adventure...

This weekend my friend Kelly and two of her boys, Colby and Zac, came over for a camping adventure at the property with Michael and I...
 
 The Jiffy Pop queens!!
It took team work but we managed to get it to pop...We made another one later and it was even better!! Of course if Me, Wendy, takes the paper wrapper off the Jiffy Pop it works better, lol...
 
 
 I wasn't sure if she was dragon wrestling or being attacked but being such a good friend I grabbed the camera instead of going to rescue her, LMBO!!
 
 
 The boys loved it!!
 
 
 Enjoying the camp fire...
 
 
 On a treasure hunt...Zac says it's that way....is it? We used walkie talkies and had them running all over the property looking for the treasure!! We know how to tire the boys out!
 
 Kelly is an awesome Mom, even if she makes the boys do crazy things to find the treasure!
 
 
 Wore out from racing here and there but happy and having fun!
 
 
 Is it here? Where is the treasure? Can we find it?
 
 
 I jumped in to help and then I couldn't even find it and I'm the one that buried it but finally we found it...
 
 
 Can we do this, can we make the jiffy pop pop?
 
 
 Kelly taking her turn!!
 
 
 Very tired boys!!
 
 
 Some night time swimming...too cool!! We gave them glow sticks to use in the pool!
 
 
 Sunday morning we went down to the creek...Where is the water?
 
 
 The kids pool is almost dryed up...I was shocked!! In all the droughts we've been through I've never seen the creek dry up this much!! Poor fish!
 
 
 The boys investigating and exploring...normally the water would have been up to Zac's hips but not today. They were able to walk easily down through what water is left in the creek.
 
 
 Colby...
 
 
 Zac checking out fresh water clam shells...
 
 
 Michael was catching minnows...
 
 
Time to head back to camp!!
 
We had a great time and will definitely being doing more camping adventures! This one was just for the night but we wanted to make it simple and short our first time! Can't wait for the next adventure with the boys! They've known each other since they were 2 and have had some really great times together and here's hoping they have a lot more great times and adventures together!!

Mighty pretty...

 
 
The sunset this evening!
 
We had storms coming in this afternoon and just before they reached us they split and went North and South of us, sigh! We had maybe a tinkling of rain but that was early this morning!!
Tomorrow we are going camping with some friends and we can't wait!! Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Just a few...

Photos from my day...
 
 
 We have a young (immature) scissor-tailed fly catcher hanging out around the house. I love these birds, they're gorgeous. Michael spotted it yesterday evening and told me "Oh Mom that bird is so pretty"...His or Her tail will grow quiet a bit longer too...I hope it sticks around!
 
 
There were storms to the West of us this evening and it made for a wonderful sunset!
No rain here, sigh! Hopefully tomorrow!
 
 
 
 
 
 


The hummingbirds this afternoon...

 
The video I took this morning was nothing compared to this one...
 
We have a front fixing to come in sometime in the next couple of days and the Hummingbirds are sure loading up on the feed for their flight further South....I took this just a few minutes ago this afternoon!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


He's just too darn cute...

I'm going through over 200+ videos on Michael's video camera and I just found this one and wanted to share just how cute he is...This is from November 24 2010...
 
Michael explains the things he loves about San Antonio!!
 
 
 
 
 


The hummingbirds this morning...

 
 
The hummingbirds are in full migration and are swarming the feeders! Thought I'd share what I've been watching the past few mornings!
 
Hope y'all have a Great day!
