Camping

 We spent a busy Memorial Day weekend camping at Cedar Hill State Park.  We drove up I35 the entire time in the rain and set up our tent in the sprinkles.  We slept great and stayed dry, but our campsite was really muddy the next morning.

 The wildflowers, especially blanket flowers and thistles, were amazing.  We hiked around a little and the girls said we had high heels of mud...

 then headed to the swimming beach of Joe Pool lake to meet some friends, from A&M...

 we had lunch and played; their son is seven and the girls really enjoyed him...

 looked at the marina and then played around at our campsite for a while.  That night we set up the girls' tent.  Sunday morning we woke up and drove to Caleb's uncles to see his Grandmother and with Annie there were puppies!  And kitties the girls were in heaven.

 We flew kites before going back to the state park to swim again.  This time it was super crowded.  

 Carrie and family came for dinner and s'mores.

 The kids found a great climbing tree and added features such as a door and assigned rooms :)

 We enjoyed the visit and the yummy s'mores.

 Monday morning we toured the historic Penn farm in the park, and did a short hike before packing up...

we stopped in Salado on the way home for dinner, a visit and to climb in the treehouse.  Granddaddy came for dinner as well, two days before his stroke.
