Our first camping trip with E was exciting, exhausting, and fun all rolled into one! We ventured to McKinney Falls State Park for tent camping the first weekend in March. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban so no camp fires were allowed. Thankfully, the rangers were allowing charcoal to still be used for cooking purposes. This would not have been an issue but the Texas weather was unpredictable and got down into the 30's upon waking on Saturday morning. Can you say C-O-L-D! Despite this, we still made the most of it by hiking around the beautiful park. E kept us laughing out loud on Friday night as he verbalized all that he heard while "resting" in the tent. He would say, "I hear a birdie, hmmm...I hear an airplane, hmmm..." This went on and on until finally he went to sleep. We only made it one night but it prepared us well for our next camping adventure to Bastrop State Park the first weekend in April. Check out the pictures from McKinney Falls State Park here:

So thankful to have my Eagle and Cub Scout along!
