Camping adventures in Huntsville, Texas


Once again, we attended the annual Huntsville campout. It's not a Church sponsored activity, however, it kinda looks that way. Of the 25 shelters at the park, 22 are reserved for our large group. It's a blast! Everywhere you look you see friends and their families. Children run wild and free. And it doesn't hurt that the location is absolutely perfect for camping. So beautiful.

Here are the boys trying to get the wet wood to start! Good thing we got there early this year. These two little helpers turned out to be big helpers. Sometimes TOO big! Check out Ethan's mouth, love it!

Awwww..... dinner at last! Hot dogs really do taste better cooked over the fire! Or we were really hungry! :o)

Pres. Gillis, also our homeeacher, took us all for a ride in his canoe. Triplets enjoyed it only when the water was calm, no bumps. I guess I might have over done it when I told them to stay out of the water because there were alligators in it. Really there are! But I didn't mentioned that they usually stayed on the other side of the lake. Oh well, better safe than sorry! With the girls, we saw 2 alligators, a blue crane and a really big black and orange turtle.

This will be us next year!

Lee hanging out with some of the guys.























I found a little bear, stuck forever now, in a tree! I guess Pooh Bear never got out of the honey tree! Poor little guy!


















Easter egg hunt!!! Nearly 900 eggs "hidden" this year! Lots of bunnies in the woods you know.









Morning fog over the lake. So peaceful and beautiful! Can't wait until next year. Anyone want to come with us?
