Mini Vacation #1

We decided to have a few little mini vacations this summer, instead of one big one. The first vacation was our "girls' trip" to Bastrop State Park. My mom drove down, and we loaded up and started off to Bastrop. It was supposed to be a pretty easy drive, but we took a small detour which added some time to our drive. Regardless, we made it there and found our cabin. It was an old fashioned log cabin built in the 1930s. It had two bedrooms, which worked out great for us! We noticed right away that there were mouse traps set out...uh oh! Anyway, we went for a short little hike after dinner that night, then got everyone in bed. The next day we went exploring, there was a pretty cool park, and nice little lake area and and great pool! After we found those things, we pretty much made our rounds between those three for the rest of our trip.

Favorites

Adilyn's favorite parts - throwing rocks in the lakes. She kept wanting to find the "big honkers" because those made the biggest splash. The pool was also a favorite, of course. There was a baby pool that was right about her shoulder level, and she loved "swimming" in it. She would put her head under that water, and then jump right back out.

Kacy's favorite parts - the pool, trying to eat the rocks at the lake, and walking around with Nammie's fingers as support.

My favorite parts - spending time with my favorite girls, swimming, spending time with Mom organizing pictures.

Some other silly memories

*We went to get ice cream from the little ice cream store at the pool. I asked Adilyn what type of ice cream she wanted. She said, "Anything pink."

*After seeing those mouse traps the very first night, we didn't actually see a real mouse until the very last night we were there. It ran out of the kitchen, into the living room, and in a hole in the wall!

*These people followed us to our cabin the very first day we were there, and they asked us if they could take a look at the inside of the cabin. When they left, Adilyn said, "Why them people staying in our cabin?"

*Adilyn thought she was really cool because she could open the refrigerator herself. She kept opening it and getting sliced cheese, over and over.

What fun times with some of my most favorite people!
