Last Weekend

Last weekend, my dad and I had the privilege to go camping on a father/son campout with church at Cleburne State Park. We were there Friday night through Saturday. Our church combined with the Boy Scout Troup that meets at our church. The first night, we arrived, set up our Taj Mahal of a tent (4 room tent), and my dad got the camp stove going to boil up some water for coffee. While we were setting up our tent, one of our youth group members got his pellet gun to go shoot a water snake. He shot the snake, and one of our youth group sponsors skinned it with his pocket knife. Then, some of the youth group members cleaned it. Of course, some of the nerves were going nuts in the snake, and it was moving around. Then, one of the youth group members put it over the campfire (we didn't eat it though!). Later that evening, my mom had purchased a birthday cake, because daddy's 59th birthday was April the 25th. We surprised him with a cake, and we then had a flag retirement ceremony that the scouts put on. The retirement was very interesting. That morning, I went and played ultimate frisbee in a field with the youth group, while daddy played forty-two. We later left, after hot dogs, and got some beautiful pictures of the Texas wildflowers. There were some beautiful pink buttercups on the side of Highway 67, we also got some pictures of the bluebonnets while we were still at the park.
That evening, we met with our friends and tried our new Cheesecake Factory restaurant. The food was great, but we didn't have any cheesecake, because they fed us sooooo much of our main course. We had a fun weekend.
