Spring Break Trip to Jackson Hill!

I am in love with Jackson Hill! It is about a two and half hour drive but it is a very pretty drive through the trees. I have so many memories of camping when I was kid and I am so glad that I found a place to give that to my kids. The only down side is that it did rain "Like a cow pissing on a flat rock"...yep my Grandfather said this to us when we were kids and I did not get the meaning until moving to Texas. I should also mention that it is not really camping per say...I tell the kids that because camping sounds so much cooler. They have several tiny little cabins. They fit two double beds and a bath. The cabins are old but remodeled and VERY CLEAN. There is a lodge where breakfast, lunch and dinner can be served if you want it. Terry is a wonderful cook! On Saturday night they had karaoke and the kids all sang. It was so much fun. I have a thing for classic rock any kind of rock music really (as long as it is clean). I have passed this down to my boys who are in love with Queen. Chase is also a huge Green Day fan so we just sat back and relaxed while they had the time of there lives.



There was a professional Bass fishing tournament held at the marina. Chase was paid five dollars to release the fish after they were weighted. The poor kid was cold and carrying wet, heavy bags of fish but he never stopped. I was so proud. It was really neat to watch 75 boats scrambling to get to the doc on time. Its pretty serious stuff the winner took home 2500 BUCKS! Now this is so Texas...


This is Brock just before dinner. We went in to shower (hot water another bonus) and Brock passed out. He was a bear at dinner for the first few minutes and then snapped out of it.

Of course this kid can't go anywhere with out a book! I think I might have to read this book this summer. He just finished the series and liked it so much that he is starting over. This is truly not my son.


Meet the Beaver! This place has a covered boat dock with slips to park the boats in. It is also a great place to take the boys fishing. Chase was walking by one the boat and I hear a splash! I spun around thinking someone had taken a dive and I was about to jump in the freeze cold water. Chase is running screaming at the top of his lungs "Beaver!Beaver! Beaver!" I of course could not quit laughing and I really thought there was no beaver. Well...yes there is a beaver. The owner think she has pups under the dock. Makes me laugh just thinking about it "BEAVER!" lol
