Life was beautiful this past weekend as we camped out with some of our friends at Tyler State Park. The weather was absolutely in our favor, cool, no wind, no rain, and lots of sunshine. We packed up our van and headed out at 1:30 and made it out to Tyler by 4:00. We did learn the way NOT to go next time. Highway 205 seems a pretty straight shot over to I-20, but construction through all of Rockwall left us in traffic for quite a while. Then, when we thought we were free sailing, we hit more traffic through Terrell. Luckily for us, all four of the kids slept pretty much the entire way! Sam and I had some fantastic conversations without being interupted or screamed over. I was nice for a change.

Poor Ephriam didn't know what he was getting himself into when he ventured out. All the younger boys, but mostly William and Dakota, kept attacking him for his goodies. What 2 year old can resist goldfish!
Falling off the picnic bench, face first onto the concrete, sure got the best of him! Luckily he was okay, other than the war-wounds.
Meals were great this camping trip! For dinner, the adults had foil dinners and hobo stew and the kids had tortillia pizzas, thanks to a recipe my friend Elicia gave me. In the morning, we had a buffet style pancake breakfast with sausage and eggs. Yum! Jason is always so prepared for a great breakfast! We were in charge of the eggs, and of course we forgot something to actually cook them in. Sam and I have now come to the realization that we need to pack a box of camping supplies on Family Home Evening night, that way it is always ready to go. After breakfast, the kids carved their pumpkins for Halloween. They really did a great job too. I was very impressed at how detailed they could carve.
Where is William? Well, he found a place he prefered much better than at the table.
Under it!
