FINALLY.... PICTURES!!! TEXAS TRIP!!!

Kinda odd looking, but this is when we first started out.
All smiles... until the reality of a 12 1/2 hour trip sinks in.

They do things different in Texas... and they do things smarter too. If I had to ever move out of Illinois, and could move anywhere in the states, I'd move to Texas. Especially if I was eighteen. (They have open carry laws- I'd get me one!=D)



A very odd sign. What is evening food? Maybe they have afternoon, noon, and morning food.



I like this city! On the map, it looks small, but its about as big as Springfield! (Well, I guess that's not saying much!)




We like this restaurant!


The ARRIVAL!



Skybo the Flybo




The campground... Very pretty. We got there pretty early.







I really like this pic of Daniel.








And this one- he's so boy! (sometimes)=D









"Did you see what they are doing over there?"










Helping with the tent. We had two tents and one gazebo. One tent was 10' by 16' and the other was 16' by 20'. (I think.)












That one boy looks out of place!








GUESS WHO WE CAMPED BY? ACROSS FROM THE...



DUGGARS!!!!!!!!!! The Bates were by them, too. They had the whole camera crew there, too!
I told Jinger, "My Pastor has been to your house a couple times." Then I told her who my pastor was, and she said, "He's your Pastor?! Neat! He's one of my favorite Pastors!"












Olivia in her outfit.














Lots of good music. This group did good- considering that about halfway through, one of the girls music dropped, and they kept right on going!

































































See Skybo? Aqua shirt- rubbing her nose. Sorry its blurry!


















The Pre- Excel group. Olivia is on far left at top. Last one at top.

We had a great time- and it was sad that we had to leave!

  3. Amy-
    Daniel and Ellie might... their teacher for Childrens Institute was their oldest daughter, Jana. Dad had to sign waivers(sp?) saying that he didn't care if they were on the show.
    So yes... WE might...Probably when they show them pulling in the campground you'll see uour tent. Cool.

  4. Awesome about staying by the Duggars! I hope that we can meet them someday. :) That would be cool! Actually, when I worked in Arkansas last summer, one of the Bishop ladies said we should take a group of girls and go visit them some day. A lady that I am making a swimsuit for has actually been to their house. Sweet!

    Looks like you all had a great time!
