Oh we had fun at Inks Lake and here are some photos that we want to share. Aren't our boys cute! We hiked, we swam, we lounged. What a wonderful weekend! We've got to book more weekends before they fill up!
We stopped at a BBQ place on our way into Burnet to pick up dinner. We stopped there because last year when we camped Inks Lake the BBQ place was OUT of food by the time we pulled out of town on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the BBQ place had changed hands since then and well, the BBQ wasn't all that...
Our first night was really chilly so we drove to Marble Falls the next day to pick up some blankets and some other items we discovered we needed on night one...like starter logs to get the damp firewood started. I just loved this jumble of rocks topped with the gnarled tree. My picture just cannot do this view justice.
Check out this sleepy boy! The neighboring campsite couldn't get over how good Reese & AJ were because they didn't bark the entire weekend. They wanted to know our secret...exhaustion!
When I was broadcasting the dishwater I noticed this small herd of deer behind our campsite. Aren't they delicate? They weren't too sure of me and sprung away into the thick once I tried to get closer.
John, Darby & Eli were camping at Inks Lake the same weekend with their small prayer group from their church. Eli visited our campsite several times and liked visiting with the boys.
Eli took this photo of me. Isn't he a burgeoning little shutterbug!
Night two rocked out with bratwurst & sauerkraut with potato salad and Shiner Blond. One of the brats jumped into the coals but we rescued, rinsed and replaced on the grill top. It was a close one but all ended well.
Breakfast both days included scrambled eggs, hash, toast, OJ and coffee. Yum :) I don't know why I find the challenge of putting together a meal in the great outdoors such fun!

What a great bonanza of pictures I discovered today on your blog!!! I'm responding to all via the the middle post.
Inks Lake sounds like a blast. I hope the BBQ place that changed hands isn't Cooper's . . . they were WAY good last October when we stopped in after our SS retreat at Canyon of the Eagles.
We know the "dead dog" syndrome. Orvis was out for days after doing the annual "Turkey Hunt Weekend" with Max and his cousins. I think he was sick from all the stuff he ate -- as well as from the wild romping.
I like the pile of rocks, too. Very artsy angle. I have a similar shot of rocks in the Ten Lakes hiking area north of our Montana cabin -- you & I tend to see the same kinds of things in the wild. And you do wonders even without a fancy camera . . .
Birthday party looks like fun--I'm glad you were there to represent the family (and to provide pictures)!
And bummer about Dan's race, but I know he redeemed himself at Fort Davis, so all is well.
