Camping

The first two picture are obviously not camping, but the rest are.  We went camping in Sommerville with some friends, Andy and Stephanie.  The weather was wonderful, we had our own trail down to the water from our campsite.  It was a perfect relaxing weekend, I'm thankful that I still feel well enough to stay active.

Here is the baby's room and bedding, we are so excited!  Still waiting on furniture hopefully it will be here soon.

I am at 31 weeks, my blood pressure is a little high.  I was admitted to the hospital for a few hours today and bedrest might be in the near future, but I feel great and will keep going until I hear otherwise!

Andy cooked us a wonderful beef stew the first night.  We were all off for Fort Bend County Fair Day so we celebrated by going camping.

Here is our setup, notice the lake view in the background.

We spent our evenings by the lake as the sun set and the weather became cooler, very relaxing.

We loaded Edge into a canoe and headed for a bit of an adventure.

When we arrived at the canoes these geese came running out of the water and directly towards us, not sure what they were thinking.

We arrived at the canoes to find them locked up, hmm?

Need I say more?

Group shot...Andy, Stephanie, Edge, Guy and I.

Edge was extremely dirty, so he got a bath as we headed out Sunday morning.

The flies were a bit annoying, but a least they didn't bite.

Fun, but stressful.  Every time Edge moved the canoe tilted rather dangerously.  

After the canoe trip....

Andy and Stephanie in the canoe.

IKE

We survived our first hurricane that actually landed where it was projected to land, which we happen to be in the way of.  It was a pretty scary experience and needless to say we didn't get much sleep Friday night.  We are very blessed to have no damage to our house, just a few planks from the fence came off, but more importantly we are safe and dry.  We lost power Friday night around 6:00 pm and got it back today around 3:30 pm.  It has been a great chance to get to know our neighbors and spend some time unplugged from the world.  Here are some pictures form our IKE experience.  

Our neighbors love Edge...this was Friday after we lost power, all the neighbors came out of their houses.

The morning after we drove around the neighborhood.  This is the fence in front of the railroad tracks.

Our only damage, the planks from the fence.  The neighbor's ply wood came over and knock them down.

This was Friday night as we waited for the storm to come.

More damage our town...

These guys are really popular!!

Saturday night after IKE.

Guy and Edge making screens so we could sleep with the windows open.
