Camping Season in Texas!

Ok well we may have jumped the gun on "camping season" in Texas.

Turns out January is still kind of cold.

And by cold we mean 50 degrees.

Hahaha.

Anyway! We had such a great time camping this past weekend! 

Beach camping is seriously our favorite. 

Light breeze. Beautiful sunsets. Beautiful scenery. No bugs. Light breeze. Sound of the ocean as you fall asleep. Beautiful sunrises.

Seriously- amazing.

 Our little fire... we really were cold.

And it was only 50 degrees.

I can't believe we've become such wimps.

 This girl is nearly nine months pregnant and she came camping- what a woman!

 Sunrise!

 Breakfast hash, mmmmm.....

 We camped on Bolivar Island- which is just a short ferry ride away from Galveston.

The ferry ride always adds to the adventure.

Camping again next weekend, what?

Thirty Days Hath September...

I signed up to take the GRE.

That's right- I have this crazy idea that I want to go back to school.

Each night, I get a math tutorial from Jon... which usually ends up in tears and frustration.

(Jon of course is the one crying...)

I don't think I've taken a college math class since 2004.

Yeah- it's bad.

Enter blogging break.

Something that requires minimal brain cells, perfect!

September has been good to us.
I mean- how could life NOT be good with this guy around?

September brought a fair share of pool parties-

because yes, it's still quite warm.

It started with Labor Day and cousins.

 I think Mondays should ALWAYS be a holiday.

Seminary pool party!

Pool party with our clogging family!

Pool with friends at a resort north of Houston!

September brought lots of free food...

September brought Friday night lights and football, football, football!

September brought time with friends...

September brought fun with the youth at our church!

AND September brought cooler weather.
Psych!
Fooled you.
Until then- we burn the pumpkin candle and pretend like it's Fall.

Goodbye September!

This Little Brother of Ours...

came to visit this past weekend!

Visitors are great to have-

anyone else wanna come visit hot, humid Houston?

Hmm... no one?

That's weird.

This is Spencer, Jon's little brother- and I think the humidity was a shock for him.

We headed down to the beach, amidst the rain and dark clouds.

 Bros

Even though it sprinkled off and on- we had some good times boogie boarding!

We cheered on our Cougars to victory!

We found some alligators...

 

 And we ended with some Texas BBQ!

 Mmmmmmm...

Let's dig in!
