Camping

On Saturday, Nicolle, Michelle, Greta, Lori, Lisa, Carol, Jimmy, and us (and eight kids - including the borrowed two) ended up in Jim Hogg Park not far from the shores of Lake Georgetown.

Jo spent the night with Vivian in my aged REI Half-Dome tent. About halfway through the night, Vivian realized that she was sleeping "out-sy" (outside) - her favorite place in the whole wide world. And that her dear Mom was trying to sleep next to her. At that point, it was too much fun to just sleep, so she kept Jo up for a couple of hours.

I was asleep a few yards away in another tent with six of the older kids (their parents/guardians were ensconced in their queen beds inside their respective RVs, and this was my idea of an adventure for the kids). We weren't exactly roughing it either - the tent belonged to Jimmy and had ceilings taller than my home. The kids were in one room, I was in another - in a very comfortable cot. We farted, snorted, snored, whispered, and had nightmares, but otherwise it was quite uneventful.

Now we are planning the next step - a short hike and a night of primitive camping for Vivian. Perhaps at "Animule Lake" near Enchanted Rock one of these lovely Hill Country fall days.
