Unfortunately I'm not good at having my camera with me all the time taking pictures so I only have pictures of the end of the camp out so I would have something to go on the blog besides words.

We got up there late Thursday night after being lost for about an hour. What an adventure!We ate hot dogs and then Tom and Angel set our tent up in the dark with the help of Tom's truck headlights. While setting up we had a little friend join us on the tent. I guess you wouldn't consider a scorpion a friend so Tom squished it just so I would have a little bit a piece of mind that when I climbed into my sleeping bag to go to sleep that that particular scorpion would not be joining me. ICK!! I HATE Texas bugs!!

That first night was no fun trying to get the kids to go to bed. Being in a new place they were just too excited to sleep. I ended up laying in between them until they fell asleep so they would stop playing with each other!
Once sleep did come it wasn't long. Throughout the night Avery would start crying, while still asleep, so we would get up to try and comfort her even though she would never wake. I got about three hours of sleep. Poor Tom was getting up at 6:00 to go fishing so I know he didn't get much sleep either.
Friday was a great day! The kids played while the adults relaxed. The lake wasn't far from where we were but mostly for fishing so we drove a short distance to go where we could swim. The guys and kids swam while the women lounged around and talked.

The dads all thought it would be funny to cover themselves in mud,
which it was

Cole got his first sun burn Friday. So sad! He woke up Saturday morning with a huge, nasty blister on his face. I did take pictures but some how they were lost! So maddening!!

Friday night went much better. The kids had played so hard and were in the sun a lot during the day that they were completely worn out! Cole and Avery couldn't get into bed fast enough! As soon as their little heads hit the pillow they were out! YAY!!!
We locked up the tent then joined our friends at the camp fire until it was our bedtime.

Saturday we ate breakfast, packed up and left. Since it was conference weekend we wanted to get back so the men could go to the priesthood session.
