Brady Springs Camping

We loaded up & headed out! Out of the heat & into the mountains, on a weekend campout for a family reunion. We ate yummy food: tinfoil dinners, dutch oven biscuits & gravy, pancakes & bacon, dutch oven cherry-pineapple cobbler, chicken salad sandwiches, homemade cookies, fruit salad, cowboy caviar, & lots more! We played lots of games, rode on the mule, went shooting, rode zip lines, and got really dirty!
Kade's checking out the campfire.

He loved playing w/ his cousin, Garth. He would pull himself up into standing position, just to get a closer view.
And Garth would giggle at Kade.

Kade loved helping Daddy drive the mule.

Kade & Garth playing in the grass.

And then Rob's sister, Jen, took off in the mule w/ her boyfriend & our camera. So we had a few surprise pictures...

Jen & Russ enjoying the ride!
Kade liked eating the rocks & then drooling the dirt onto all of his clothes...
So we went down to the creek to rinse off. The wildflowers were so pretty...
We had just brushed our teeth, down at the creek. :)
Someone built a zip line for the kids. Here's Jasper going on a wild ride.
He loved it!
Someone's getting sleepy...
Rob loved taking the boys for rides on the mule. Jasper repeatedly told us that, "We went super speedy!" with a big toothy grin.
When we were packing up, Kade discovered the Pirate's Booty...
and he went to town...
And then Jasper discovered it too.
And helped Kade finish it off.
We had a great time, but were happy to get home to our beds and showers.
