June 9-15 Blanco State Park

Kristi ,Kenna, and Ashley headed to Africa on their annual mission trip and Sammi came to stay with us while they are gone. We packed up and headed to Blanco to camp for a few days. We love the park there because its small and right on the river. We arrived on Sunday after an easy drive. The park was full with a lot of day folks. We got everything set up and headed to the river to swim. The water felt really good. It was always nice in the mornings until about noon and then got pretty hot. It cooled down in the evening around 7 and was nice to sit out. Jamie and Belinda came up on Tuesday and was able to get a site across the street from us.  Our daily ritual was to get up in the morning and sit outside to watch the deer, squirrels and birds. Somewhere around nine we would cook breakfast. Sometimes we would head to the river and swim then come back for lunch and a nap.  We always swam in the river in the evenings.  We cooked supper every night and then just chilled. One morning we did go to the Chess Club for breakfast. Susan, Belinda and Sammi also visited a quilt shop. It was just a relaxing time.

Susan made a quilt and curtains for our bedroom
