While we were camping last weekend, our campsite was right up the street from this adorable bridge. I couldn’t resist shooting a few pictures of Meg on the bridge. Thankfully, she was in the mood to have her pictures taken.
Saturday morning, Jarrad had to go into work for a few hours, so Meg and I decided to go exploring. She grabbed a walking stick and we headed out on some walking trails in the park.
After breakfast, we both got dressed, put on our boots and hit the trails. Meg had picked out a perfect walking stick the night before and grabbed it before we left. Of course, we got about 20 feet down the road and she decided to turn back and leave her stick behind. I don’t think she wanted to carry it around.
We got back to Joey about 2 hours later, just in time for some lunch. Meg asked me to fix Reagan’s hair. After I was finished with Reagan’s hair, Meg liked it so much that she asked me to do hers the same way. I’m pretty sure that the 15 minutes that it took me to fix Meg’s hair was the only time that she sat still the entire weekend.
After doing Meg’s hair and cleaning up our lunch mess, Meg and I headed down to the bridge so she could run around. While we were down there, Jarrad and Dixie drove by and we went back up to the camp site. Dixie was so excited that she barely let Jarrad get out of the truck before running to us.
The weather on Saturday was absolutely beautiful. After Jarrad had some lunch, we put Dixie on her leash and headed out to go walking again. We walked through some of the “neighborhoods” in the park.
Once we got back to the camp site, we decided to start a campfire and play some ladder ball. Meg slowed down enough for me to snap a quick picture of her and her daddy, then it was off to explore a little more.
Meg took a quick break to have a cookie and spend some time with her girls. Rachael (baby) and Reagan went camping with us. I love watching Meg interact with her baby dolls. She’s so sweet, but doesn’t take any of their attitudes. I actually heard her say “don’t roll your eyes at me little girl” to Reagan. It took all my strength not to laugh.
We had a great weekend camping and can’t wait to do it again!
This past weekend, we went camping at Loyd Park right down the street. Even though we were minutes from the house, it felt like we were a millions miles away. We headed over to our camping spot on Friday after Megan got out of school. Meg was super excited about the camping weekend.
Friday night, Boompaw & Nawnaw came down to have burgers with us and hang out around the camp fire. It was a little cold, but thankfully Jarrad loves to make camp fires, so we stayed warm. After burgers, we made s’mores. I’m not sure if Meg had ever made them before, but she loved it. She didn’t really like the actual s’mores, just cooking the marshmallows.
We stay thru Sunday, I will post about our Saturday adventures soon.
DISCLAIMER – COMPLETE PICTURE OVERLOAD
(and, this isn’t even 10% of the pictures I took)
Last night, we had the opportunity of a lifetime! We were taken to the World Series! Luke and Patty got tickets to Game 5 of the 2010 World Series. The game didn’t turn out how we had hoped, but we were still able to witness a deciding game for the World Series!
Luke and Patty pulled out all the stops for the game! We all met at their house before the game and rode together in a party bus that they had rented for the game. The ride was so much fun.

There were 12 of us in total! Luke and Patty; Megan, Jarrad and Me; Stacy and Bryan; Albert and Barbara; Nick and Michelle; and Tommy (a family friend’s son). We had amazing seats and got the the game early enough to see a little batting practice, have some nachos and take lots of pictures!

I don’t think I will ever be able to explain the atmosphere at the Ballpark last night. I will never be able to explain how I felt walking into the Ballpark knowing that the game we were about to witness could be the final game of the 2010 World Series.

The Rangers fans had high hopes that we would win this game and send the series back to San Francisco. Unfortunately, Game 5 wasn’t good to the Rangers, and the 2010 World Series was decided on November 1, 2010 at the Ballpark in Arlington.

Even though the Rangers didn’t win the World Series, the season was amazing. Meg and I only made it to two regular season games this past year. I have a feeling we’ll be going to a lot more next season.

I’m definitely sad that the season is over! However, I look forward to next year’s season and all that it will be. I hope that we will go to a lot more games next season than we did this year!
Thank you Rangers for an AMAZING season! Enjoy the offseason and get ready for April 1, 2011!
Saturday night, we stayed in to watch the Ranger’s game. If you know Megan, you know she can’t still for very long – this girl has two speeds, on and off. So, I grabbed a deck of cards out of the man cave to keep her entertained. Meg and I played war twice. She beat me. Twice. I’m not a good loser, so I asked Jarrad to beat her for me :)
Meg had so much fun playing with Jarrad. They played two times, each won one game. Meg loves playing war…we taught her over family vacation this summer and has gotten real good at it.
I remember playing card games as a kid and loving it. I remember dad teaching me all sorts of solitaire games growing up. Now, I know that Meg will likely never play a solitaire game with a deck of cards, but I hope that she will still pick up a deck of cards for poker or war or thirty-one every once in a while.
