We camped at Lake McMurtry to check out the trails for a trail run my husband was going to do.

There are over 27 miles of trails there!

There are two sides of the lake you can camp on so check out there site before going.

Sweet boy.

They have nice signs letting you know how many miles you have done.

Break time!

Here are some pics from the weekend we went back for the Trail run.

Practising his roping skills the night before the run.

My husband starting his 25k trail run!

The boys and I walked along the lake while Nick ran the trails.

He finished!

It was a pretty nice place to visit.

They are under new management so things are still getting a bit of a face lift.

I would not mind going again though.

We still need to hike those trails on the east side of the lake!

Cooking in the popup.

Getting ready to hike.

Quiet time.

The bundle of blue sleeping bag is my youngest.

I taught him UNO, he really liked it!

My youngest woke up not feeling well so I broke out a movie on my kindle.

I really enjoy time spend in the popup!

I enjoy the simplicity, the closeness, and all around less stuff (although it does not look it in this pic)!

In other news I think I am going to just call the fact I did not complete my 30 day project this month!

I have never done that!

I am pretty sure my downfall was changing the rules half way through.

That and sick kids…

I will have to think of a new one.

What did you do over the weekend?

Last week I went with my family to the Grand Canyon!

Nick and I have both been before but this was my boys 1st time!

We hiked down into the canyon a ways.

My oldest took our pic for us while we were taking a break.

I handed off the camera many times and asked my husband to take shots with me in them.

It is important that I have proof I was there!

Plus I know it will be fun to look back on later.

Second hike in.

I held my youngest little man’s hand a lot.

It was really not as scary as I thought it would be though.

That did not stop me from dreaming all night about steep drop off’s…

He brings out my mature side…

Pueblo in Arizona.

What can I say, sometimes I have something better to look at than the camera.

Red Rocks in Arizona!

This was an unexpected surprise, so beautiful!

Painted Desert.

Sandia Mountains at sunset!

Getting to hike on a snow covered mountain was another wonderful surprise!

These boys were so excited!

My oldest kept saying, “you found it!!!!”.

My happy place.

Some fun before we headed back home!

Make sure you get in the shot this holiday season!

Take a deep breath and hand over that camera!

If you are not happy with your weight here are a few tips.

-have them take it from above (low adds on pounds)

-angle yourself (you do not want to be the broadest to the camera, make your husband stand straight on so he looks bigger! he he he).

Check out Emily at the Anderson Crew for more inspiration about getting in the shot.
