Camping For a Couple of Days
My brother for Texas is here for a week
This week we went to camp for a few days to spend time with my brother and a few of his family. His wife and daughter came with him from Texas. They were coming up to see both his family and hers. His wife's family were having a family reunion.
We had a dinner and breakfast together a couple of mornings. We spent hours over the meals catching up, laughing and reminiscing. We spent time at our campsite and at the beach.
On Monday there was no people at the beach, except for one woman on a floaty and a woman with her three small children. We thought it may be busy because of the coming holiday but it was so peaceful and quiet. A great day, enjoyed by all. Including the biting flies and mosquitoes.
That night it rained and we loved hearing the rain on the camper top. Then the next morning...
The morning after a rain
mosquitoes can be a drain.
We saw a couple of crane.
My daughter and grands will be here later.

It was time to go to the water
and take a dip,
but first a sip
of water, and breakfast.
~
The lake is beautiful
nice clear water lake full
of fish and other harmless water critters
little to no litterers.
~
So much beauty in one place
and so much space
to roam and sightsee
electric bikes may be just right you see
easier on my knee.

Maybe next time.
All this fresh air reminded me of bedtime.
The grands arrived and wanted to swim
The water was cold, I would rather go to the gym
~
We had fun by the water,
with my niece and daughter
2 grands and a great nephew
the kids all swam for a few
hours and we went back to camp
where we needed a lamp.

I love how you pulled back the curtain on what it really takes to build relationships with brands in the outdoor space. It’s inspiring to hear how authenticity and passion can lead to such meaningful partnerships. Your journey shows that when we genuinely connect with what we love, opportunities find their way to us. For anyone diving deeper into the world of outdoor adventures, I’ve found some helpful tips on outdoortraveltips.com . It’s a great resource for those looking to explore the outdoors or even start building their own presence in the industry.
What a great way to start a day. I love camping especially in a tent and sitting around the campfire. Thanks for sharing loved the pictures. Happy Fourth of July.
