BBQ at Brazos

We took Marlene with us to Brazos Bend National Park last time she came to visit and completely freaked her out with all the amazing wildlife (Alligators). So this time we just went for a cook out and tried to catch a few fire flies.

First things first came the Pit Stop, where we discovered our first wildlife right there in the bathroom. Cute little tree frog.

While Daddy tried to light the fire (the wood was WAY wet) Aunt Marlene and the kids took a nature walk. It was too pretty to not take some pictures.

Aspen found herself and umbrella out there in the woods. Can you believe the mushrooms get this big, ridiculous!

Sicily was kind enough to call everyone for dinner. She's trying to learn to cup her hands to make her voice carry farther. Thus far it's still a work in progress.

When the fire was finally going we had some yummy hot dogs. The kids hot dogs were more smoked than cooked, they were a bit to anxious for dinner.

Sicily's favorite part (all the kids really) came after the hot dogs. Who doesn't like a nice gooey S'more! Graham crackers, chocolate and a hot toasted marshmallow. YUM! Pure summer.

It was super dark and creepy by the time we left. The fire flies were out. And those things are stinking hard to catch.

No they are not walking the white line to test for Root Beer intake, we are actually on our way to the garbage can.
