Afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch


We spent a lovely afternoon at the pumpkin patch. The weather has been gorgeous the past week or so...cool breezes, sunny but not too hot! This is my favorite time of year in Houston. The next night, we went to the Trunk or Treat at church. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but I'll try to get some next weekend!

RV trip - East TEXAS!! Emily and Jared hanging out in the top bunk of the RV-this was Emily's room! The RV was quite bouncy, especially on some of the country roads! It was fun making BLTs in the tiny kitchen, staying up late playing cards and talking, and making french toast and icy Tang for breakfast. We had some good bonding time.


Salmon Lake

This was where we stayed during our mini vacation! It was a beautiful place, especially in the early morning, before sunrise. The people were very friendly, especially Floyd and Fanny Salmon (the owners), and the lady who made the snow cones! There was a nice little park to play in, and a lake for Emily to swim and practice diving! You could park RVs there, or rent a cabin. The cabins were designed to look like an old western town, with a jail and saloon and all sorts of neat buildings. There was a tree house, a water wheel going from the lake to a stream, and a place where they make maple syrup. They have a big Bluegrass Festival there every year on Labor Day.

Prayers are answered!!
