Red River Vacation Part 4

Project Life:  Week 31: August 3, 2011 to August 10, 2011

Sunday, August 7

On Sunday, we did a small church service at the cabin and then headed out for a picnic. Our original plan was to picnic in  ?, NM but after driving out there and seeing the huge drop offs all around the picnic areas we decided to head back to Red River to find another picnic site. We found a great spot at another park nestled in the mountains

 Colton enjoyed driving with Daddy!

 Caden was a little bit of a distracted driver. He just liked to swing off the bars.

 Jarrett and Brittany at the picnic!

 After the picnic we went on another short hike after driving up to Greenie Peak.

 My mountain men.

 Uncle Doug and Wilkin.

 Caden got going really fast. This was right before he took a tumble but he got up, dusted off his hands and kept running.

 Campfire on the last night.

 On Monday we got packed up and headed for home. Group shot with Grandma!

 Group shot with Grandad!

We stopped in Amarillo for the night and Colton and his grandparents stayed at The Oasis RV park while Caden and I stayed at my friend Jordan's house. It was a short stay but it was great to get to see her and her family for a little bit. Thanks for letting us stay the night!

Tuesday, August 9

On our second day of traveling home we stopped at Sonic for lunch and then found a park in Childress, TX. It was good to stretch our legs but the temperatures were already in the 100's and the equipment was hot. Here are the boys pushing Grandad. They told Grandad that he was supposed to push instead of ride :)

No, he's not injured. This is what 6+ hours in the car looks like on a toddler. He got hold of a marker during one leg of the trip :)

 Glad to be home! One last horsey ride from Grandad and then our journey was finished. Thanks for such a fun trip, Grandma and Grandad, and for driving us home!

Wednesday, August 10

 Whew! This is what you look like after a big vacation! Actually the boys received some fun mail while they were gone. Aunt Cindy sent them some cool diggers and matching pillowcases with their names on them. As you can tell, they loved them! Thanks, Aunt Cindy!!
