We have decided to throw money and caution to the wind and just keep going fun places this summer. We know we will pay for it later but oh well, they are only young once right??? The weekend of the 8th we decided to take Megan and Jacob for their first real camping trip at Bennett Springs! Emily stayed with my mom. We didn't think she was ready just yet! The weather was beyond perfect and we had a really good time. We cannot wait to go back and camp again!
Shoney also got to come along! The car packed on the return trip was a little better but she didn't mind, she loved being able to come along!
OK, so we get there and the first thing the kids want to do is go fishing. It was free fishing weekend! Jacob's having a good time using his new Spiderman fishing pole!
Still loving it...
So notice how his feet are closer to the edge, and how his body is leaning outwards. WELL, he somehow managed to go fall in...and it's way deeper than it looks! Poor Jacob was basically drowning and Michael ended up going after him. People all around us were definitely concerned!
Michael and Jacob sat on the sidelines for the rest of the fishing time! After all of the commotion, Megan and I really started getting into fishing. I love it and so does she! We are planning to get a fishing license and go fishing more often!
Here we are sharing Megan's pole she got for her last birthday!
After fishing we went swimming at the pool because we couldn't find a place on the creek where people weren't fishing! After that we set up the tent and campfire. There are few basic sites these days and we were lucky to find one!
This is the life! The kids were relaxed and so were we. We don't have a car charger for the phones so the battery life we started the weekend with is what had to last and since Emily wasn't with us we made it last. So that meant no e-mail, texting, phone calls, facebook, blog, or anything! Ahhhhh!
Jacob did such a good job camping. We knew that Megan would love it but we weren't too sure about Jacob and we worried about his screaming when things don't go his way...he did great and didn't scream until the next day when we were leaving!
Is he having a good time or what!
Another camp picture!

That just looks like entirely too much fun. We need too get them out to lake Buchanon camping, fishing, sailing, swimmingand so fourth for a week in the spring or fall. When there is water in the lake that is. 32 feet low right now. Lake Travis is 54 feet down.
