New Year's Camping Trip

Greerson and Daryl decided to go camping with the Gill's the week after New Years. We headed to Lake Whitney Thousand Trails for  couple of days. The weather is unseasonably warm, highs in the 50s and 60s and lows in the 30s and 40s. Perfect weather for camping. We met the Gills and had camp set up by mid-afternoon and then decided to go grocery shopping. We had tacos for dinner and stayed up playing Skip Bo. The next morning Jessica made biscuits and gravy which was a real treat. Then the kids played around the campsite and we all went up to the lodge for miniature golf. Jessica had to go back to Waco for an interview, so Mike and Daryl held down the fort. Christa came out that evening and we enjoyed another round of Skip Bo. It was a little cold, but the furnace in the camper worked great along with the heated mattresses. The next morning we ate waffles and then went down to the lake to go fossil hunting. There were a lot of them visible since the lake was so low. After that we packed up and headed back to Waco. It was a great escape for the beginning of the New Year.
