We took a family outing to Caprock Canyons State Park this past Sunday. The state park is approximately 1.5 hours from Lubbock. We had plans to do a couple of light hikes and to have a picnic lunch. The weather was projected to be in the mid-60s.....so that's how Tyson and I dressed!! Boy were we unprepared!! The temperature never got above 43 degrees!! What the heck! The weather people in Lubbock are not very good.
So instead of taking all of the hikes we had planned on, we ended up taking the scenic drive several times. Luckily it was really pretty there, so we didn't mind driving around. We also had our picnic in the car!! It was pretty fun.
Taylor started going stir-crazy, so we all got out of the car (we actually had dressed Taylor appropriately....not to mention that we had her bundled up in a warm blanket). It was already cold, but the 20-mile hour wind made it down right freezing!! Taylor LOVED every minute of it. As soon as we started walking she just laughed and laughed. She loves cold weather so much...I'm not sure what she's going to do when it gets hot!
We finally decided to go on one little hike. I think we all (including Belle) had a great time. It was so nice getting out of the car!!
Taylor's showing her dad how good she drives!
Taylor, Belle and mommy stayed in the car while daddy was out taking pictures.
Taylor's ready for her first hike!
A pretty shot of the canyons
Another nice pic of the canyons. Too bad it wasn't clear and sunny!
Our first successful family hike!
Hiking is hard work! Notice the grass that's still in her hands....she'd cry if we tried to take it away from her, so we let her keep it!
