Time flies when you’re having fun and even when you are just busy. We had been traveling around to different towns in Texas due to the nature of dh’s job. We were blessed to land in some picturesque campgrounds as well as some very remote ones. Those oil refineries all lit up in the distance at night made quite the eerie impression when we were down near the Gulf.

Our last stop in Texas was in San Marcos, a small rural town, whose main claim to fame seems to be the abundance of outlet stores.

Some wonderful new friends were made at a campground there. We were able to bless and be blessed by Carrie and her family and Ava and her sweet son. Such fun kids to play with. Bows and arrows were made from branches and sticks. Add a little imagination and soon the kids were doing reenactments from the Lord of the Rings. Lazy afternoons (after all schoolwork was completed, of course) consisted of bike riding, Frisbee throwing, tossing a football around and swimming in the heated pool. This is what childhood is supposed to be about. We went to Easter service, had an Easter egg hunt back at the campground with the other two families, where we were introduced to Confetti Eggs and had fun combing all the confetti and egg shells out of our hair. We also had a wonderful game of family football where even the moms played. I laughed so hard playing with all the adults and kids. Lots of laughter, lots of fun and some sore muscles were felt the next day.

Later in the week, we celebrated our son's 10th birthday with cake and ice cream and all our campground friends before jumping into the pool. Such sweet families and happy memories were had here.

Here are some more photos of some of the fun we had here
