Homeschool Camping Trip

Mark came and spent the night with us each evening, made a campfire, took down my tent, and was a big help (oh yeah, emptied the tanks after all us girls used the potty/shower so much!) We went to Cedar Hill State Park, about 45 minutes south of Dallas...from Sunday - Wed.
This is the group that went camping.....8 families...the H.E.A.R.T group has 14 families all together...
The moms......
Hannah buried in the sand (rocky sand...) by the lake...
This was by the lake...sweet Abby Kate!
Jodi took this from the camper...she must have been jealous she wasn't in on the Yatzee game we had going!
Okay, Jodi gets the "Good Camper Award!!!" I invite her on the trip with 6 other families she doesn't know...she uses her camper/camping equipment to make dinner (okay, I did the ground beef ahead of time at least)- then she SERVES the WHOLE group dinner from right outside her camper!!!! She was AWESOME !!!!!
Sweet Jo...notice her red, swollen eye....the first night we were there, she accidentally put a strong cleaner for contacts but NOT for direct use in the eye....she couldn't even open her eye....she called Brent, Mark got solution, and 1/2 through the next day it was better...
I love the way Toby likes to get on his tummy to play!!! He was such a trooper...there was another little boy there, who shared toys with Tobs....oh yeah, Toby and I got some GOOD together time!!!!! (me, Cheri)
The kids played many hours on "The Hill" beside the campsites...they rode their bikes down the hill, played, and just had fun!
Hannah loved playing in the lake!
I brought our tent, slept in it the first night, then left it open and empty, and the girls had brought some toys, and there were this one species of butterflies that were easy to catch, and plenty of..so they had them flying around in the tent,and played a long time with them! Abby Kate and Shelby are holding butterflies.
The state park was on Joe Pool lake...the water was cool, and the kids had a blast!
Most families brought water toys, and they had fun getting cool!
