Tim and Callie at the campsite before we set up the tent.
Callie helping Daddy with the tent . . .
This is her still helping a.k.a. taking a break (notice the tarp in the background? We strapped it to the pavillion to create a wind break. Yes, it was that windy. It was a great idea until I was trying to sleep at 2 in the morning when it was whipping back and forth.)
Back to actually helping . . .
She was so excited to finally have the tent up that she had to immediately get in her sleeping bag (it was a little warm).
Hanging out in the tent . . .
On our walk exploring the campground . . . that's the Brazos river in the background.
Roasting marshmallows before dinner . . .
Having some fun!
So when we went to bed everything was great (except for the crazy loud people having a karoke sing along and throwing washers on a piece of plywood until midnight). I finally got about 3 hours of sleep then was woken up by the loudest rain ever! It was raining so hard that it sounded like someone had dumped a bucket of pennies on our tent. The rain cover was on, so we thought we'd be ok. However, the wind was blowing so hard that it was blowing the rain into the tent. At 5:30 we decided to make a run for it. We got Callie in the truck almost completely dry, and proceeded to break down the campsite in the pouring rain. It was SOOOO cold! We left the campgrounds at 6:30 and made it home in time for Callie to go to gymnastics.
Here's a picture of what we woke up to the very next day! Texas weather is INSANE!
