We took our first trip to Huntsville State Park in February 2009. Tish, Aaron and their two sweet kids joined us and we were all really impressed with the camp ground. We had a wonderful view of Lake Raven from the back of the camper
Huntsville State Park is located in the Sam Houston National Forest off of I-45 North. From Houston it takes about an hour to an hour and half (depending on the part of Houston you start from) to get to the park. The park is heavily wooded with a small lake and the camping areas are clean and the staff is quite freindly. We didn't catch anything, but the lake is rumored to have a ton of fish. Our favorite part was the trails. There was miles and miles of trails to walk or bike making the park great even for a day trip. Here is a picture of the whole family on one of the trials.
This weekend was also the first time I felt Leo move. I was a bit tired Saturday morning and decided to lay down in bed with my book. No more than a few minutes after I had laid down I felt him flip by belly button, it was truly magical! This is a picture taken shortly after:
Cooper had a blast too. Johnathan wore him out playing tug of war all weekend. We were so proud of Cooper. He played so well with both of the kids. It was so heartwarming to see him be so gentle with the kids. We know Cooper will be a great
Big Brother! Here is a picture of Cooper at the end of the day:
Charlie and I usually camp alone, so it was a nice change to have some freinds with us. Tish and Aaron were wonderful camping buddies; we had a blast playing Cards and eating. (There is so much good eating when you camp!!)
Here is a link to some more pictures of the trip.

Yeah! I was hoping to hear any day now you talk about feeling Leo move. How fun! I was right at 20 weeks and Doug felt the little guy at 21 weeks. Charlie will be feeling him too in no time. Congrats! :o) You look great Cynthia.
