First Camping Trip

Samson made the first of many outings to commune with nature this weekend, which also happened to include Earth Day. We drove for 3 1/2 hours to Garner State Park near Concan, Texas. The drive was not tear-free, but Samson did remain in the carseat for the entire trip and even took a couple of short naps between bouts of cheerful play and mournful cries. The weather was expected to be hot and cloudy; we did get the clouds, but the temperature dropped to chilly, so there was no swimming in the Frio River this time. Instead, we stayed near the cabin and spent quality time with the Walton-side aunts and uncles. Samson got to spend lots of time being passed among loving admirers.
