Camping, Feeding Ducks

Pictures soon to come...I left my camera over at mom's house this weekend.

We arrived at the Vineyards Campground at Lake Grapevine Friday night around 6:30 and Walker and Tony had the tent set up by sundown. The campground facilitators deliver firewood for a nominal fee and we arranged to have some delivered to our site. The man who delivered it informed us we needed to add a few more stakes to the tent because we were under a tornado watch. We didn't have any more stakes to put in and just decided to build a fire and keep setting up camp. The weather was perfect until about 10:00 when we started seeing a lighting storm. Walker's dad called to give us updates on the weather. We weighed our options...pack up and get a hotel for the night, pack up and go home or sleep in the cars until the storm went through. Both of our vehicles were packed to the brim with camping equipment...in fact Tony barely had room to breathe on the drive there....Ken also informed us there would be two more storms the next day, one in the morning and one at dinner time. So we started packing up around 11 pm and left by 11:30. Tony stayed the night with us and Annie drove back to mom's. We met up the next day to exchange Tony and went to feed the ducks at City lake in Mesquite. Not the relaxing weekend we had all envisioned, but an adventure none the less.
