The Camping Trip .... But not for Long.

We loaded up on a wed. Planning to drive into the Trenity Lakes and camp until Sat.Wed. was perfect. Very nice temp. Not too much wind.Tons of wild flowers.We had a great time setting up, eating, running around. John went fishing a little. Didn't catch anything but it was beautiful.








Wed. night we had some interesting thunderstorms but stayed pretty dry in the tent.

Thursday wasn't too bad but a little chilly. John took the girls on a lovely hike until the thunder brought them back to camp.
John and Grace did a little fishing... It rained off and on.... Finally we decided to make run for it and go home... about 5 p.m. I think.
John and I packed up in a downpour. John patiently loaded everything up while the rain dripped off his hat.


We were sad to abandon nature and go home.but we knew we had better find somewhere a little drier to sleep.
And the girls had a fabulous time waiting in the truck.

I hope we can do it again next year!

Ah...the joys of camping in pouring rain. I'm praying that next weekend is dry and warm and lovely!
