BUTTERFLIES GALORE

"BUTTERFLY KISSES"

One of the most unique things that we got to experience on our camping adventure was the Butterflies. If you have ever see a butterfly ball you will know what I am talking about. A few yards from where our tens were set up right on the water was a moving ball. Once the "hunters" got a little closer they realized they were BUTTERFLIES, all fluttering in a ball, with one swift swoop of the net they had dozens. We put the beautiful flying insects inside one of the tents and had an experience I will never forget. They were flying all over us landing where ever they could, including our eyes, ears, mouth and nose!! Although I personally didn't get to see the magical ball, I did get to enjoy the pitter patter, and flutter flatter, of little legs on my face. And for those of you who were worried, No butterflies, well not many, were harmed, we let them go!!

Luke, Logan, and Gaige couldn't get enought of the little critters!!

Maycie was a little to nervous

to go into the tent, but we

finally found one that she

would hold!!

THE REDNECK YACHT CLUB

As soon as the first hot day hits in the summer, we start itchin' for the summer fun!! As most of you all know, we love to go camping, and we love to go boating, but most of all we love Boat Camping!! It is the best of both worlds!! We got the chance to go to a place that we had never been before, and it was the best weekend of camping in a really long time! Trevor and I packed up the Truck, hooked onto the boat and headed up to Anderson Ranch with Gram, Pop-pop, Nini, Luke, and Logan! The Thur before the 4th of July. Sense non of us had ever been there we didn't know what to expect. After getting through a few set backs with getting there (car trouble) we finally pull in after midnight, got what we could of camp set up, and headed to bed. The anxiety hit that morning when I heard the first sound of camping! The tent ZIPPER!! As we got ready to go outside, I was a little weary since we didn't really know what our campsite looked like. I was hoping it was half as nice and we thought it was in the dark. But much to our surprise it was WAY BETTER!! Sheryl (Gram), Niki (Nini), and I decided that if you took all the other places that we had ever boated and camped, combined all of our favorite things about each of them, you would get this amazing spot we had. It had Beautiful shade trees, Plenty of room for the kids, a private sandy beach, and our own dock for the boat!! We couldn't have asked for anything more!! We had such a memorable time! I know every time we look at pictures from that weekend, feeling of pure happiness will fill our hearts!
