I tried to post last night but when we switched campsites the new site did not get Internet. So here it is now! First, thanks again for your comments we love to read them. Teri, I did not realize that your boot camp was in San Antonio. That must have been hell! It is very hot and sticky in Texas. Plus you get frizzy hair :)
Bob Sandlin State park is beautiful. It is overgrown with thick, full green tree's and sits on a fairly large lake. The campsites are spacious and shady! It reminded me a lot of Lake Almanor. I have had a lot of good memories there and this campground brought those back. I really enjoyed running in the morning through the trees. It is very peaceful and gives you a lot of time to think and pray. Dave managed to get a run in too! (Dave made me put that)
We drove over to a swimming and fishing area. The kids tried to fish, but didn't catch anything (probably because we were using lures while everyone else was using live bate). Dave and the kids went swimming (actually I sat on the shore and took pics). The kids had a blast playing king of the dock and throwing each other off. We liked this campground so much we decided to stay another night. So we switched sites to a lake front site. The kids lo
ved this because they could fish right from our site. They did not catch any fish
but they did find a turtle. We made a campfire and had smores.
Tip of the Day:
We go through tons of drinks! We have been buying Snapple's, Gatorade's, Water, Capresun and juices. Well, that gets pricey on a budget (Snapple is $15 a case). So I decided to buy a few big things of different flavored (lemonade. raspberry tea, apple juice concentrate, etc) powder drink mix and a 2 gallon dispenser and I make a huge thing of lemonade (or whatever). I then fill all the empty water bottles, Gatorade bottles and Snapple bottles with the mix and put them in the fridge and freezer (comes in handy when we go on hikes...stays cold). I have determined it costs me about $3 a case to do it that way, and the kids like it just as much.
