Good Friday camp-out was a great idea that went awry when Stephen F Austin State Park turned out to be Mosquito and Gnat State Park... We learned from one of the park hosts that liquid vanilla streaked on the face will repel the gnats from around the the face and that worked well... We just couldn't beat the mosquitoes. We tried to make a go of it but it was just ridiculous and we figured that it was only going to get worse when the sun goes down. Even with all the mosquito bites the grandkids didn't want to leave.
We had to break the news that we were leaving
The camp-out moved to Erin and Chris's backyard ... We set up the tent and made a fire.. That is Haley roasting a peep for her Easter S'more.

It was a long cool Friday night in the tent but Lucy, Grace and Haley didn't know it as they all slept like logs. Granny bailed out on me sometime during the night and ended up in the house. Next morning we went to watch Haley play soccer and then went back to the Varnell campground for Poppy's taquitos(camping tradition) and the Easter Egg Hunt.
Haley was into the soccer and scored three goals
