Unfortunately, we couldn't take the whole week to camp this Thanksgiving, but we did get away for half the week! We decided to go up to Arkansas, so we drove up and stayed at a state park for two nights, and then we went to the Crater of Diamonds for another night. The first state park was really nice and there were some great places to hike and climb rocks. The fall leaves still had some pretty good color to them. More than we usually get in Texas anyway! We had an awesome leftover Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving night in our cozy little camper. We cooked all our favorites at home earlier in the week, and then we brought the leftovers. It was the easiest Thanksgiving meal, ever! The weather wasn't great for some of the time, but we spent those rainy days in the camper playing games and watching movies.
Crater of Diamonds was pretty fun! We brought our own shovels and buckets, and I was pretty amazed at how huge the area was. We felt very determined to find something cool, and we dug with a passion for about 45 minutes. After that, we realized that the ground was really hard, and it was really messy. We still kept trying for a pretty long while until one by one the kids gave up. We did find some stones that we thought might be something, but unfortunately they were just quartz. The thrill of the hunt was fun, even though we didn't find anything too cool.
