Spring Break

We live in the third largest city in the U.S with over 5 million people around us. So it goes without saying that one of our favorite things to do is to escape to the country and enjoy God's creation in nature.  There's no better way to do it than to go to Camp Tejas with friends! Camp Tejas is a Christian retreat center with incredible facilities. Not only are the accommodations cozy, but the views are gorgeous and the grounds are extensive. There's so much to do but none of it involves computers, TV or video games. Woo-hoo.

Some of the things we like to do there are...

Tree climbing...

Canoe tag around the ponds...

Friendly games of kickball, volleyball, soccer, basketball or tennis. 

Or...not so friendly in Ian's case!

Taking walks on the trails...

Hanging out with friends...

And perhaps the boys most favorite activity...going down the zip-line...

No matter where you are, conquering your fears always makes for an adventure. This year, for the first time, our 5 year old was able to tackle the zip-line. His only regret was that he didn't want to jump off but had to sit down to start. Still, he did GREAT!
