We went to see Aunt Nina and her friend Gwen for a long weekend which was so fun! They are really fun people to be around, plus they feed us amazingly well :). They have a huge garden and usually at least half of every meal is something they have grown or else caught/killed (fish from the pond or a deer from a hunting trip). We did all the things we were looking forward to: hiked around their land (they have about 100 acres), fished in the pond, sat for hours on the back porch talking and watching/listening to birds, and even had a big bonfire one night. Plus Gwen showed me a few tricks to manually taking pictures on my new camera. We all (including Gaius) had a wonderful time.

After Kilgore, we went home for a night to re-pack and then headed out to Guadalupe River state park for a few days of camping. We had really nice weather and it was even a little chilly at night (but perfect for a campfire!). The first night we had crazy rain, but thankfully the trailer kept us nice and dry. We played board games, read books, and went on some hikes. All and all a really restful week.
