El Rio Guadalupe

We went camping on the Guadalupe River in late October with our wonderful friends, Tyler, Maddie, &Chloe McLemore. It was the perfect trip! It was a little chilly but warm enough to swim the next day in the river. (Actually it was still a little cold to swim. I swam across the river to get Tyler's line out of the water, Jude swam on accident, and Dan "swam" all in the name of fishing.) ;) We told stories and ate by the campfire the first night. The mamas and babies enjoyed a nice walk in the morning while the boys had gone off fishing. We met them at the river and then both Maddie & I caught fish. :) It was pretty exciting. We all caught fish, though! Jude experiences his first no-nap day that day and it was PRETTY traumatizing. WHEW!!

It was such a fun, relaxing trip! It is an absolutely gorgeous place. There is a beautiful mural scene in the temple here right from this river. It is a little heaven on earth!

Tyler spent hours tending to his fryer!

She's probably THE CUTEST.

He for real gives us kisses like this all the time. We LOVE IT.

look at that bass!

A couple Friday's ago Dan walked through the door around 5:30 pm, looking tired and dejected from a long day at school and before he could sigh I said... "let's go!" Fishing gear and blankets lined the front hall, Jude was all packed up and ready, and keys in hand. He was a little bamboozled.

Off we went to Lake Tamaha right down the road. We fished and had a picnic, black bean &corn pizza (my latest favorite) and fresh-baked chocolate chips cookies (my forever weekly favorite). He got his animo back shortly after he caught his first bass and got a little food in his belly. It was Jude's first fishing trip! He loved it and I think he was thrilled when Dad caught not only one, but three beautiful bass!
