HEB Camp

The homeschoolers in the area (well, Houston and San Antonio) do a family camp week once a year. This year, since as of now we're planning on homeschooling, we decided to go with Jared's mom and brother. Jared even took the week off work to come, and it was SO FUN! We all had so much fun! Except that it was in August in TX and ridiculously hot all the time! We showered 2-3 times a day just to refresh and cool off. And, slept with floor fans on us all night which made it barely bearable! The kids spent a lot of time in the sand volleyball pit aka sand box :)

Lindsey buried.

Eating something on the run and finding sticks. He always finds a stick.

We had cabins to camp in with bathrooms. Each held 10-20 people, so we shared with the Gouge family. They brought a few toys, Justin enjoyed borrowing them occasionally.

Napping on-the-go.

We ate in a large mess hall and all families took turns with food and cleanup assignments. Here are my boys enjoying some smores.

Resting (not actually sleeping) with Granmda.

We took the liberty to go on our own hike. It was SO beautiful up there. It was at a non-profit camp owned by H.E.B about an hour west of San Antonio. This is the closest I've been to mountains or anything close in a while and it was great.

Mostly, this is what we looked like. The camp is right on a river, so we swam and played the days away! I got to play tennis with Vickie one morning, and we also went to a big swimming hole in a little canyon-the water was so clear and so deep. BEAUTIFUL!

The kids with their walking sticks-it was the preschool craft. Each age-group had appropriate activities to keep them busy during the week.

Perhaps this will be a new tradition! Hooray for HEB camp!
