Garner

Ok, I am only two months behind now!

We went to Garner State Park - west of San Antonio - for TWO weeks this year! I didn't win the screen shelter debate this time...there's always next year. The girls did well. They finally caught on to the sleeping outside thing after about five nights. They both loved playing in the dirt and with sticks. They did pretty good swimming, though neither really preferred floating on tubes because the life jackets swallow my little girls. We enjoyed hiking one morning and Ann Alyse climbed the "mountain" by herself most of the way and Avery did a little toward the end. Ann Alyse and Daddy even got to ride "horseys" one day! Ann Alyse loved it so much she fell asleep on the last half of the ride! We also enjoyed getting to dance with Ann Alyse at the dance some. Avery was always asleep by that time!

Avery loved playing in the car with the windows down, climbing over the seats and, of course, waving to everyone who walked or drove by!

The girls in the big tree. Ann Alyse loved this tree and had to stop and get in it every time we went down to the river.

Avery's 1st trip to Garner and to get a picture in front of the sign.
