|
| We did a LOT of eating..... |
 |
|
,,,,and crafts.
The
girls learned quilling.
It started in miss
Vicki's trailer. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The quilling moved to
Mimi's trailer after Vicki left. |
 |
|
|
|
| There was plenty of fun
in the dry creek bed. |
 |
|
| An evening ranger
program taught how to make bricks from dirt, water, straw
and a brick mold. All
of the kids had a chance to make small bricks and then
take them home after they were dry. The fort was
made in the same way (by hand), but the bricks were a
bit larger! |
 |
|
| The first day there was
a long hiking trip for some. |
 |
|
 |
A little help getting down. |
 |
|
| Every night we had a
"visitor" who walked through the campground between our
trailers. |
 |
|
| One night the skunk was
under the table when we returned. |
 |
|
| That is a bit too
close!!! |
 |
|
| A "little" snake made
one afternoon interesting! |
 |
|
| There were other animals
in the area like this monkey. |
 |
|
| Aoudads |
 |
|
|
|
| A red tailed hawk |
 |
 |
|
| This guy came into our
campground every evening (before the skunk!). |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
One day we all went to
the swimming hole at Balmorhea.
The pool at the
park is 1.3 acre and contains 3.5 million gallons.
Over 20 million gallons of water flow from the spring
every day! The pool is always about 74 degrees and
is up to 30 feet deep in some areas. |
 |
|
The pool is "L" shaped - no way to get it all in
a single picture. |
|
| It also had several
diving boards. |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Back at camp, there were
lively games including Frisbee and kick ball.
Every evening saw games of Uno, Yatzee. Fish and Ghost. |
 |
|
| Pretty smile! |
 |
|
| Trouble. |
 |
|
| More trouble! |
 |
|
|
|
| After 10 days, it was
time for a little laundry! |
 |
|
Sunday we set up a
computer and TV and watched a sermon on "Restoring the
Church" by Jason Brown from 1910 Church in Boerne.
The service was followed by communion (Steve & Bonnie).
The 1910Church series for the summer has been
"RESTORE". Check out
1910church.com for
the sermons on restoring: God, People, Men, Women,
Our Nation, Family, The Church, Marriage and Witnessing. |
