DeGray Lake State Park, Bismarck Arkansas






















We just got back from another fantastic trip to DeGray Lake and I tell ya, that place just gets better and better. Now that the kids are growing up and are more self sufficent, these kinds of trips are much more laid back. We took some friends from our Sunday School Class, The Johnsons, and had a blast. They are a great family, their kids are super sweet, and we all just had a total laid back, relaxing weekend. We spent a lot of time just chilling out at the campsite, fishing right down from our Yurt/Cabin, and visiting. The weather was amazing. Low 50s, High 70. We hiked a new trail, did some Dutch Oven cooking, went on some walks, got to go on a hayride (although the driver went about 3omphs) it was the just the act of it that made it fun.

It's always great to have a weekend where nobody thinks about work or the daily grind. Our only thought is....who wants to pull out the chips and dips...or "Mommy, come lay in the hammock with me". Gotta love it!

State Fair of Texas 2008


It was great that our schools Fair Day was the 1st day of the Fair. There were pretty much no crowds and we never had to wait in any lines. Celeste, Julie and I took our kiddos. The highlight was the kids getting to see a mama goat give birth to 2 baby goats. It was pretty unexpected, pretty gross, but amazing:)
