I love camping. In May, we went camping with our neighbors, Max, Suzanna and their cute baby girl, Gillian. We went to Goose Island State Park. It wasn’t that far from home but, far enough where we could relax and enjoy it all. Goose Island has the largest Live Oak tree in the United States (world?). And, it was impressive. There was lots of interesting wildlife. I tried to get it all. However, I was unable (or unwilling) to get a picture of the raccoon who woke us up in the middle of the night the first night so he could steal out marshmallows.
I love this picture of the boys in the wildflowers. There were wildflowers EVERYWHERE.
Jaxon HAD to take his ukulele because Allen always takes his guitar. Jaxon would walk around camp and stuff, just like Allen does with his guitar, playing songs and singing.
The Sowerby’s
The Cook’s
Sometimes, it felt like the kids were EVERYWHERE!
Here is some of the cool stuff we saw. The little green frogs, you could find in the bathrooms after dark. They would hang out at the lights and wait for the bugs to come by for feasting purposes. Of course, this was right above the showers so, I was afraid I would accidentally hurt one. But, no, I didn’t. A ranger told me and the boys were we could find some leopard frogs. However, we were not as willing as we had anticipated to go tromping through muddy ditches with knee-high grass in alligator and snake country. Maybe next time. We went on a hiking trail and we are going along, there is us and nature and then, suddenly, a bench. I think there should be benches in the middle of nothing all the time.
super pictures! I’m so glad y’all had a good time.
