This weekend Matthew and I began, hopefully, a tradition. On the longest weekends we have both had in a long time, we headed to the hill country of Texas to survive the wilderness. Ok, so we may have had a grill (no burn rule,) porter potty's, the neighbor's loud music, a cooler full of food and, yes, ELECTRICITY. But all the same, we were sleeping outdoors. Floating the Guadeloupe river and never looking at the clock were what made the weekend. Matthew cooked while I roasted marshmallows for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The quaint and delightful town of Gruene, TX was also part of our memory making weekend. We visited the delicious Gristmill and checked out the oldest country dance hall in Texas, Gruene Hall. Below is an account of the weekend and first annual camping trip (minus the dogs, we'll take them next year!)
LOVE your camping pictures! So glad I get to see some of them and see how much fun you guys had. Josh and I also went camping this week and took Sampson-he went crazy. We went backcountry (scary) :)
We love a great story. Not only did our story begin great, but we are continually seeking to live a life that IS a great story! This blog is an account of that story as it unfolds. Life can feel reckless, and WILD. As a family, we are striving to live an intentional, relational, and thankful life with each other, our friends, family, and with God. Though it's never perfect and rarely pretty, this is OUR life, our Wild Communion!
