We spent the morning packing up camp, in preparation of the journey home to Texas. Packing up is always bitter sweet. We enjoy our camping trips so much that we joke about how we could never return home, just continue to live as vagrants, shifting from campsite to campsite. Unfortunately, gas prices are soaring, we have a baby on the way and we own our own business, making our vagrancy an impossible dream...
While mommy and daddy tucked everything into it's place for the drive home, Owen and Clay enjoyed their last moments of outdoor freedom.
Clay was reminded (for the millionth time) why we don't eat dirt, it's just plain gross.
And Owen built a few more of the "ant homes" he had been thoughtfully designing all week for the ants of New Mexico to enjoy this winter (He was very concerned about the ants staying warm, dry and comfortable this winter. Though we did not see any ants around our campsite, he insisted that they are "berry sneeky".).
Once we were packed, we said good-bye to the MacDonald family and started the trip home. We planned to stop at Pa-G & G-G's (a.k.a. Meg's parent's) home in Lubbock to break up the long drive to Abilene.
