It's summer here -- the girls are about to start their 3-day-a-week summer programs, Bill's only got to grade the final exam for his summer course, and I'm about to begin working during the weekdays like a normal person. All of that means that we've been taking to the road (a little) for some mini camping trips. So far we've stuck pretty close to home and they've been short and sweet. We figure while the girls are so new at this camping thing and while Tessa is so young (and mercurial), we need to stack all the cards in our favor. Positive experiences will hopefully make the girls fall in love with camping!
Last weekend we ventured to Mesa Verde. We didn't venture 45 minutes down the windy road to any ruins; we hiked some nature trails and played at the visitors' center instead. Lots of people in the campground already. And lots of grasshoppers to catch!
