camping with friends

As I mentioned on Friday, Mark and I headed off after work last week to enjoy some tent camping with our friends. We headed up to Ray Roberts Lake State Park and had a great time! 

As promised, we did some of this:


and a lot of this:


Unfortunately the park didn't have any canoe/kayaks for rent so we didn't get to do that, but we were content with what we had and had a great time!

We hiked over 3 miles, made omelets for breakfast, saw a few deer including a big buck, played catchphrase, made s'mores, shared stories, and explored. We were blessed with great weather and beautiful fall colors and the park was convenient and only a mile away from our homes. 

For a more in depth look at our weekend, keep scrolling!


























it was the Kia's first trip and she was a trooper!







We had such a great weekend and I was so happy to get away from the city. I grew up camping and it's a big release to live a little harder and learn to be content in what you have when you're away. I love the nature and the company, too! Happy to be home, but happy to do it all over again in a few weeks with family. :)
