We had an awesome church camp-out this past weekend! We left at 1:45 on Thursday, and got there (Pecan Park, San Marcos, Texas) near 5:00. The Zimmermans were already there, the Watkins dropped by, and then went to stay at their farm for the night, and the McMinns (all but Tommy, who came early Saturday morning) came in not far behind us... everybody else came next day, and pretty soon we had quite a group! Anyway, the first night, a hurricane-like-major-windy-thunderstorm came through, and the only tent that stayed dry was shared by John, Christie, and myself. More rain hit us the next night (much to the dismay of those who slept outside, including John and me, and had to crawl back in their tents at 3:00 in the morning!) but it wasn't nearly as big a storm.
We had a great time in the river...(besides the big rocks under the water that produced many a cut and bruise on my poor battered knees and feet). On Saturday, we put together a 3-hour canoe/kayak trip. John and I signed up for a kayak. That was a ton of fun (especially the big rope swing we found, and did flips off of...well, most of us did flips....I belly-flopped). I didn't think it so fun on Sunday morning though...man, I was SORE.
We saw a bunch of snakes, and there were a few gar sightings..but John (poor guy) didn't get a chance to use his bow.
We left really late Saturday night...got home near 12:30...slept in til 11:45 Sunday morning..took a NICE LONG shower....oh bother, I wish to add more, but duty calleth.. I must fly..will give an update soon :)
