Camp Tex-Lake






Camping with Troop #328!!!











(Back L-R) Taylor, Ashley, Cayla, Micaela, Kristin and Kara. Lauren in front

We spent the weekend at Lone Star Girl Scouts 500+ acre camp site. We went there last spring and had a blast and decided to go ahead and go earlier this year for the girls and mom's to really get to know each other earlier since we had a few new members.

It was a chilly weekend, but we made the most of it. We went to bed late, woke up early to an orientation hike. We learned to use compass', maps and how to direct ourselves while hiking. It
was very fun and the walk lasted about 1 hr.





In the afternoon, we went to learn how to shoot a bow/arrow in Archery. That was a blast and I think it was everyone's favorite part of the day!






















Lauren did great-she managed to hit the target all but a couple of times. She had very good aim!

When we finished there, we wenton another hike to look at Lake Travis because we were told we could not canoe due to the water being so low. Low was right.

Below you will see that the dry patch is actually where we canoed into the "cove" last May. Very sad how low our water level is in Austin.

















We rounded a great day out by having a campfire with smore's. Yum!
