Brazos Bend Revisited

We went camping again at the same place as before. It was really fun, but just slightly too cold to tent sleep! Oh well, we survived. I think it put a little hair on my chest! Ha!

Sweetie Pies by the fire.

The Regal Pug.

Charlie found a root in the ground and solicited for Chester to tear it out. With all his might (as illustrated in photo) Chester pulled and pulled. He finally ripped it out and they chase it around for awhile.

Here's me the morning after sleeping like crap! Look at me fake a smile at the camera! Ha!


John is wrapping up the interview season and will return at the end of January. Then, we hash out our rank list. Oh boy!

HONDA ELEMENT!!!!

We bought a new car! The Kia was still running "okay" but needed a new horn to pass inspection that cost $379! We decided that with 155,000 miles that we had gotten good use out of her and would be wise to invest in a new car, so we did! We bought Honda Element which we have had our eyes on for many years now! We bought used 2005, but it is a Honda pre-certified vehicle so we got bumper to bumper warranty! We are so happy with it! It is AWESOME! In case you don't know - the interior is all rubber/plastic so any dog hair that gets on it is simply wiped away! It is lovely!





John's Birthday was on the 30th so we took it for its first camping trip to Brazos Bend State Park. The trip was very spontaneous but we really wanted to test out the sleeping arrangements. The seats fold down flat into 2 cot-like beds! It was really comfortable, but Charlie kept us awake the whole night by walking all over us! He doesnt' usually do that, but mabye he was upset at the sleeping arrangements that didn't involve him being snuggled!



The next morning we walked the dogs about 2.5 miles. Their little pug bodies were pooped!



Above and below. Some ridiculous pictures of me with Element. Laugh away!
