Phone Booth Phun.

What a novelty my kids discovered in the wilderness of the national park. They had never seen one in the wild before. (Or in captivity either).
 


We weren't willing to cause physical harm to the kids in order to get them all in the phone booth. Well, the kids weren't willing anyway.
 



And Liam loved playing with the phone.
 

And this is what Liam looked like when we took the phone away from him.

Poor Liam.

A Big Bend Morning

Clouds rolling over the mountain the morning we woke up in the midst of the awe inspiring view in the Chisos Mountains of the Big Bend National park.

It was an absolutely beautiful morning.

Tent camping In Big Bend

I really had a hard time narrowing down the pics to post. I had so many great pics.

We went to big bend National park on Saturday. It had been raining so much lately, we didn't think we were going to get to go camping. We drove and drove and drove. The official website describes Big Bend National Park as "vast". They're not kidding.

There are many campgrounds in Big Bend. We chose the campground down on the river so we could go fishing.

We finally find the spot we want to camp (near the bathroom-I can only "rough it" so much) and start unloading our stuff. Then we find out the bathrooms we chose to camp near are out of order so we pack all of our stuff back in the van and find another spot.


 

 

 


We got our tents all set up and eat lunch. David and Gennifer head off to find the best fishing spot. Instead what they found was a park ranger coming to tell us that the camp ground we were in was expected to be flooded by midnight. So we take down our tents and load all of the stuff back in the van. We drove 30 miles to the mountain basin campground. The camp sites weren't as nice but the view was breathtaking.

Poor Sonja

Look how she is miserable at the pool. Pure torture.

This is some serious business

These rocks.

 


Liam has an eye for rocks. He loves them. He can spot the tiniest pebble in the oddest places. He can find rocks I never knew were there. He loves rocks. Every time he is outside, he comes up with rocks. And he is always proud of his rocks.

More rock climbing pics

Check out the lens flare on this photo. It makes the rocks look rainbowed. How many people can you spot in this pic? There are 3.
 


Sonja didn't have as much fun as the other girls, what with her broken leg and all. Most of her fun came from being carried around like the princess she is.
 


Even Liam got in on the rock climbing fun.

And lest someone thinks I am a horrible mother for letting my one year old be perched atop a mountain of dangerous, bone breaking rocks, all alone, I will include this picture and inform you that Heather was never more than an arms length away will Liam was perched atop a rock that was not very tall.

Rock climbing

Heather has always wanted to go rock climbing. Today, she got her chance. We went rock climbing in the Davis mountains. The kids had a blast. All of them! We will probably go back one day next week with a picnic lunch and do it again.
