It was kind of a no brainer that they'd like it. Sleeping in a tent, playing outside all day, kids galore, making smores for dessert... All things I knew they'd enjoy. And did they enjoy it.
The opportunity finally presented itself when Lori invited us to go along with her girls and her sister/brother-in-law's family. We headed out to Canyon Lake and spent 3 nights "roughing it." It went very well. They girls enjoyed playing with the "other" Ellie and Ashlynn. Swimming in the covered pool, enjoying a campfire and just generally having a great time.
I'm pretty sure that they would eat S'mores for dessert every night if I let them.We headed into Gruene for lunch at The Gristmill. Food was good, the company was great and the weather was spectacular.
After lunch, it was time for the girls to get their first taste of fishing. Mike is a skilled angler and he was awesome with the girls. He brought several extra poles and you can imagine that Elliot and Campbell loved using the Barbie ones. We went down the hill from town to a spot on the river and cast away for an hour or two.
The campground had lots of things for kids to do and on the last night, we went on a glowstick hayride around the grounds. It was fun but I think we all suffered a little from the hay.
