Campin'

We enjoyed our eighth trip to the HEB Foundation camp this past weekend.

God is so present at this amazing camp. The setting is beautiful on the Frio river.

The children are independent enough now that we aren't having to hover over them. It is a really relaxing place. The food is good, the activities are available and the company is wonderful. We are thankful for such a wonderful church community.

Alex was in the Gaga pit all weekend. He was the winner quite often too.  His calves were sore from dodging the ball all weekend.

Nothing could be finer than to smolder your marshmallow for the ultimate s'more!

Conleigh was covered as far as not getting pinched for St. Patrick's Day.  Here she was using bacon on a homemade fishing stick and feeding the many small fishies.  I remember the very first year we went to camp. Conleigh was one, and she stayed in this same location the whole weekend throwing tiny rocks into the water.

It's not called the Frio for nothin'.  Brr. The girls couldn't convince themselves to get all the way in.  Alex jumped straight in and then straight out. I think the cold water knocked the breath out of him.

This is the part of the river that we drive our cars through to get to camp.  

 

 

 

Cold Fun!

A beautiful setting just calls for the kids to dance.

It was confirmed by other ladies in our cabin that I was the snorer of the group, and my beloved husband video taped me sleeping in the van on the way home with my mouth wide open snoring away.  Lovely.
