Meredith's first campout!


Mollie, Meredith, Guinevere, Gilligan, and I went on a camping trip this weekend to Goliad State Park in Goliad, Texas. We chose this park because it was relatively small, which meant we wouldn't ever be too far from the campsite or car in case we needed to get something for Meredith (in other words we were being extra cautious).

Even if we were being cautious this first time out, we all had a blast! The weather turned out to be gorgeous -- highs around 80 and lows around 60. No rain (with the exception of a heavy fog overnight) and only a few clouds. Meredith had a blast on the short hike we took. She spent much of the time sleeping in a backpack we bought her for Christmas.

Of course the puppies had a blast, as they always do. Mollie and I also had a good time -- it's been since June that we last went camping. In the past, we've usually been out camping at least in October and November, but with Meredith we didn't want to go out too early. We had plans to go to Goliad State Park back in November (the weekend after Thanksgiving), but the weather took a turn for the worse with highs in the 50s and drizzle. Good thing we waited!

I've posted a picture here, but I also have a larger set of pictures at the following link: Goliad State Park . Enjoy!
