from the desk: New Year Camping

Posted on: Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Since Kyle had New Year's eve and New Year's day off, we decided to go on a little camping trip overnight. We went to Mother Neff State Park, the oldest state park in Texas apparently. We knew it would be cold but Kyle built a nice fire that we kept going for a while. Luna was pretty confused at first, but also excited and very vigilant. We let her run off into the woods a few times once we knew she would come back. She spent a lot of time on the lookout, it almost seemed like she was guarding our campsite. We all slept in the tent (well I didn't do much sleeping) and got up with the sun and ate Dinosaur egg oatmeal and hot chocolate. I wish we could have been celebrating with friends and my siblings in Boston, but this low key form of celebration suits us, and we got home in time to watch the Winter Classic and Baylor game (after giving Luna a bath, of course). :)
