it has become a fun annual tradition to spend a weekend at toledo bend with my sister's family. the past two years we went during the hottest part of the summer, but this year we decided to go in october. the weather was absolutely gorgeous- lows in the 60's, highs in the 80's and clear, blue, sunny skies. i love october in texas!
we went on a fun nature walk the first morning after breakfast. one of the paths near the cabin led to the lake. the kids had fun throwing rocks into the water. evan decided to strip down to his undies so he could wade in it.
later in the afternoon we all put on our swimsuits to swim in the lake. the water was a little chilly but the kids loved it!
on the last night, we gathered around the campfire to make smores, and finished the night with hocus pocus, a dance party, and some "snipe hunting." i am so thankful that our kids have cousins that live so close and that they get to see each other often. they have so much fun together.
