Weekend Camping

We had a great time camping this weekend at Potter's Creek Park on Canyon Lake.  We went with two other families from our Sunday school class.  The men went down Friday after work and the rest  of us joined them Saturday morning.  It was really nice already having the tent put together. Yes, yes!

The kids had fun looking for interesting rocks at the shoreline of the lake. They kicked around in their rainboots and all had their first pair of pants wet 15 minutes after arriving at camp.  After lunch, the men took the kids for a walk around.  Deer were everywhere. They learned from another camper that the deer are fed at 4:00 everyday, so we all made sure to be around for that event.  Lots & lots of deer.  

The weather was perfect. Cool & Clear.

And, it wouldn't be camping, without s'mores on the campfire.

Games by lantern light.

My favorite picture of the weekend!

The night was cold, but thankfully we were prepared.  Warm sleeping bags & lots of blankets made for all 5 of us sleeping all night.  The kids fell asleep so fast. With it getting dark at 6;00, they were ready to hit the hay easily.

The kids rode bikes & scooters all over the place! It was terrific.

Breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and lots of bacon provided by The Hall's.

 We touched base with my cousin Blake before we left Austin. Turns out, we would be driving right by his house, so we stopped by on our wya home today. He was hunting but we got to see Heather & the boys, and the mini horses, Oreo & Champ.

Campbell is a real animal lover. Last week she told me, "Mom, I want a dog." O - No!

The kids played a quick game of soccer outside.

We finished off the weekend with the last soccer game of the season & a end of season party. Great team, great season, and great coach (if I do say so myself).
