August Camping Trip, 2008 - Almost Heaven in Manvel, TX

Our last camping trip of the summer before school started. . .The campground is only about 45 minutes away, but we don't wear ourselves out with a long drive there, and it has everything we need to keep the kids entertained (pool, bike trails, fishing lake, ducks to feed, general store to browse. .. and go broke in!)
 All packed up, got some juice and we are good to go!




 The crime scene. . .a.k.a. Bucee's in Angleton where we stopped to fuel up and Corben shed some blood from a massive nose bleed!

 Cool clouds on the way

 WE'RE HERE!


 Of course, Pearland is just around the corner and we went to eat Joe's favorite. ..Buffalo Wild Wings. . .Chloe is the Buffalo Princess ;)


 . . .and Corben is the Buffalo Princess too. . . errr. .. saving this one for future blackmail purposes ;)
 Chloe, excited to be in the pool!  Not long after I snapped these shots she managed to flip her "boat" . . .legs never came out. . . we quickly righted her vessel and she came up laughing. . .of course. . .she LOVES the water. . .always has and still does!

 Corben!


 Chloe, concentrating hard on her bubbles!  Look at those gorgeous lashes!

 Joe make fire.  Fire good.  Joe cook meat on fire.  Meat GOOD.  


 Kamryn!


 As you can see we really rough it on our camping trips. . . Play station, guitar hero and projector. . .equals nighttime entertainment!


 This is what a hard day of camping results in. . . one sleepy baby girl!





 Yum. . .and for an appetizer tonight we have shoes!




 My wonderful fake Crocs


 Cool clouds at the campground


 Why is Corben on the Dora trike?  Who knows!!!  But he and Chloe were jamming to the Dora tunes!


 Poor Chloe wasn't allowed to swim in the dark with the big kids. . .she made a good cheerleader though!


 Pawpaw and Chloe in the pool


 Chloe and Aiden playing under the picnic table. . . this was their first meeting and who'da thunk they'd be such great friends!  She LoVeS playing with Aiden!

 Catch of the day. . .

 Pawpaw and Zane (Kristi's baby)
. . .and Chloe is passed out at the end of the day once again!!
