We spent the last two weeks camping in Colorado. Yes, you can fit five kids, plus supplies in a minivan. Sam is refusing to smile for (most) pictures these days. He calls this look "keeping it hardcore." Who really knows.
We didn't get started Sunday afternoon as planned due to trouble with the trailer hitch. Consequently we had to drive 11 hours on Monday to make up for lost time. After they settle in, the kids are good travelers. We economize by making sandwiches out of the back of the minivan and eating at rest stops. Here we are, somewhere in East Texas. I think it's about 173 degrees.
Caprock Canyon was our first stop. It's just south of Palo Duro Canyon in West Texas. It's an interesting place with a buffalo herd somewhere about. We didn't see them but a coyote did run right in front of us and that's always fun.
The next morning after breakfast the older three and I took a hike along the canyon. Allie and the twins stayed in camp to do some chores. I think they were washed out from the long drive the previous day and the heat. 
Everyone has different jobs in camp. One of Jake's favorites is cranking down the camper. We got out of Caprock early the next morning before it got too hot. Next stop - Raton, New Mexico.
