Lost Maples ~ 2014

Our annual fall camping trip was at the perfect place with the perfect weather this year.  After reserving our campsites 11 months in advance, the timing could not have been better.  Too many kids (20), too many adults (14), too many dogs (5), and not enough time.

We hiked and hiked and hiked.  Saw the colors of fall.  Played Minute-to-Win-It  games.  Celebrated a birthday.  Relaxed by the fire.  And even witnessed the "fire ball" fill the starlit sky Saturday night.  Until next year...

Halloween and Carnival Fun

We have had a FULL 3 weeks of nothing but carnivals, candy, and costumes... City of Lakeway's Goblin Glow, school carnival, LRMC's haunted house and trunk or treat, and Fall Fest.  Can't wait to have all that candy disappear tomorrow after the kids go off to school!

Mustang Island ~2014

Another successful camping trip to add to the photo album...this time with our furry friend.  And she LOVES the ocean but HATES the sand!  

We made it home without catching the stomach bug (knock on wood), struck by lightening, or being completely soaked by thunderstorms.  Thank God for rainbows!

Emmaus Pet Blessing

 Lucy attended her first pet blessing at Emmaus today!  She tried to drink the Holy Water and left with a St. Francis charm for her collar.  Good times...
