We had an amazing time kicking off Spring Break by camping with some of the members of our self-dubbed village!
We loaded up and headed to the Rio Frio area and stayed in Criders Cabins (#15). While the weather was a little cool for my taste, it did not stop anyone from having fun!
It was a short "hike" to a "waterfall" that the kids loved.
We were literally a stone's throw from the river...and throw stones they did! A never ending competition on who could find the biggest stone or throw the furthest stone ensued.
Andrea created a nature scavenger hunt and the kids had to find beloved treasures. It was a race to the finish, resulting in a tie.
More hiking....
Someone mentioned sighting of another waterfall, this required more treacherous terrain; resulting in more shenanigans than should be allowed!
Alas, no additional waterfall was sighted.
The kids decorated rocks.
Then we went to find the largest tree in Texas. It was incredible. However, if you ask my kids, the most amazing part of the entire trip was the journey we took to find this tree where they were allowed to ride in the back of the pickup truck. My, my how childhood has changed!
There was the infamous play that never was....
And stories and s'mores around the campfire!
It was a fabulous trip with new memories to cherish.
Until we meet again, Rio Frio....until we meet again!
