4th Anniversary Camping Trip

Thursday, May 11, was our 4th Wedding Anniversary! To celebrate, I took off work from the church on Friday, and we went camping at a new favorite recommended by our friend, Linda Beltchev:

Caprock Canyons State Park.

The scenery was quite beautiful as you can see in our

pictures (click the link to see them). We ran into a few horny toads (why didn't I wear my TCU hat) as well as a few skunks (yes, they do prance about like Pepe LePew).

Friday, we hiked on our own for about an hour, and Saturday, we participated in a guided hike where we learned about local vegetation as well as the various layers of rock and rock formations.

Friday night made for quite cool sleeping while the days were quite warm.

On our way home, we ate at the Caprock Cafe in Quitaque, Texas. Most of the food was average at best, but the Chili Rellano (that's how they spelled it) was FANTASTIC! I'd recommend it! Then, as usual on our trips outside of Wichita Falls, we stopped at the Dairy Queen in Childress, Texas for a Blizzard (I had the Chocolate French Silk Pie, and Sandra had the Brownie Batter).
