Camping at Mineral Wells

This past weekend we went camping with the Macias and the Dunbars  at Mineral Wells State Park.  Krista loves to make s'mores, so that was a critical part of the camping experience on Friday night.

 The result:  A s'more oozing with marshmallow-y goodness.  Krista was happy.

 We had a pretty awesome breakfast:  eggs, sausage, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, fruit. 
 On Saturday morning we went on a couple mile hike.  The weather was just the right temperature and the sun was shining. 
 All the wives :)
 At the beginning of the hike we passed this beautiful cactus flower.  There were butterflies everywhere during the whole weekend!  I wish I could have captured a picture of all of them.

At the end of our hike we were on the trail that first took us out.  I noticed the flower on the cactus had opened only an hour and a half later.  Amazing.

 Before we went home we explored the rock formations and watched people repelling and rock climbing.




Good food, beautiful weather, and great friends made it the perfect way to spend a weekend.  Thanks Krista, Raul, Meredith, and Mike!  We had a great time.
