Kids, bikes and the Canyon

Spring break was here.  Our son and daughter in law were making a trip to Denver and asked us to keep their three boys for a couple of days.  Yippee!  All we needed was a reason to try out our new (to us) 5th wheel.  We took the boys and their bikes down to Palo Duro Canyon State Park.  This park is about 25 miles from our house, so that makes it one of our favorites when the weather is not too warm.

While I checked us in at the gate the Texas Longhorn cattle exhibit got a good looking over.

A brilliantly colored cardinal was a regular visitor at our campsite.

Will and Grant hone their skills in the fine art of cooking bacon in camp.


A downhill sidewalk provided hours of biking fun.

Hiking with Capitol Peak in the background.

Climbing the red rock bluffs.

Our crew.

Brock keeps up with his big brotherts.

More biking fun.

The famous Cave.  Always a favorite destination for a short but exciting hike.

Stopping to read a little about our surroundings.

These kids are part mountain goats.  Yes, there are kids in this picture.

It was a short, but memorable camping trip.  It gave us another chance to iron out any kinks in our rig and hopefully the boys will remember it for a long time.  I know we will.
