Happy 4th of July!!!
Amasa had Friday off for the 4th weekend so we decided to go camping. We left Thursday afternoon for Huntsville State Park and we camped until Saturday. We had a lot of fun. Malachi's favorite part was "sleeping in the tent". Aelia had fun getting dirty!!! This was our first time going to Huntsville State Park and there is quite a bit to do. Thursday evening after we got camp set up and ate dinner, we went fishing. Malachi caught his first fish...well, Amasa caught it and Malachi reeled it in!! I caught a little fish as well.
Friday we went on a 3 mile hike in the morning and went swimming in the early afternoon and early evening. We spent a lot of time in the lake as it was so hot. I think the high for that day was 103 degrees. YIKES!! Malachi has become a little fish. He swims so well with his floatie swimsuit on. He swam out to a pier and was climbing onto it and jumping off into the 10 ft. deep water. He really enjoyed it.
The one thing that I really hate about camping is the "wildlife" and we saw a lot!! Friday night as I was headed to the bathrooms, a snake crossed my path. Also Friday night an armadillo wandered into our camp. Amasa tried to herd it back into the bushes so that it wouldn't go near the tent and scare the kids but it ended up scaring the armadillo so much that it hit the side of the tent and proceeded to scratch it. Malachi loves to tell the story about the "arminjello" who scratched the tent!!
We came home Saturday morning and were just too tired to do anything else for the 4th so we went to Kroger and got some snacks and went home and watched movies. FUN!!! Amasa and I also watched the Freedom Over Texas fireworks display on T.V. We have gotten really boring in our old age!! HAHA!!
