easter camping...

the weather has been sending us invitations 

to camp that we would have been foolish to ignore. 

we pulled the kids out of school early, hooked up

the pop up, and headed south to the llano river.

after the brutal summer last year it was wonderful

to see it up and crystal clear. we swam for days, watched

the kids ride the rapids again and again,

cooked, read books and magazines, hiked, and laid

around in the shade and sun. 

i'll take an easter smelling like river and sun

over an itchy 'ol dress any day.
