Camping and Bears - oh my!

Monday, October 20, 2008

Actually, it was my son's Cub Scout den, the Bears, but I'm a sucker for sensationalist headlines.

We went to Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma, which is on the border of... you guessed it, Texas and Oklahoma, with Pack 98. This scout pack/troop is comprised solely of Christian Homeschool families, which makes it superb to ensure all of the parents are somewhat like-minded. We may differ in how we homeschool but we're all united in the fact that Jesus is our savior. It's nice.

Anyway, Saij and I had a fabulous time. Summer wanted to go but it was too soon after Sameenah was born. There's another family campout in the Spring and she definitely wants to go. The campsites were large and had plug ins for a pop-up or motorhome. We're considering a pop-up camper so that we have something large enough for the family. Hopefully we can make it work.

We hiked, fished, ate s'mores, and did all of the camping types of activities one would expect. Saij and I had a grand time and look forward to the next event. I'll post up some pics when I can find the camera. This was my first camping trip in over 10 years and Saij's first trip in his memory. Our air mattress sprung a leak the first night so we were on the ground for the 2 nights. My back is unhappy with me right now.

Hope y'all are doing well!

Summer's mom took this picture of Sameenah back on 9/26 and she's got such a cute look on her face. You can see more pics of her at her gallery.
