Eight of us from our small group had a chance to get away (without kids) for the weekend at the Texoma lake house. We hung out Friday night, grilled kabobs, and had a good bible study of First John. It was a great time to leave all distractions at home and have sincere fellowship and study. Saturday we had a lazy morning and ate a big breakfast of monkey bread, sausage casserole, and scrambled eggs. That afternoon we headed out to the "land" where we played with four wheelers and shot guns. Guns?! Yes, it is Texas. I was a big chicken as far as four wheeling goes. I wore a huge dorky helmet and rode with Judd. I wouldn't even drive the thing! We rode through a muddy ditch, got lost in the woods, and ended up coming out without that many scratches! Abbey and Dane, on the other hand, got stuck in the muddy ditch. With some strength and creative thinking, they were able to get out. Judd and Jon brought some guns to shoot on a target or clays. It was my first time shooting a shot gun. All the girls took a turn. We spent most of the time watching the guys, mostly Judd and Jon, from the flatbed of a pickup truck! After eating a late 4pm lunch, we all packed up and headed back to Dallas. After all, we pretty much all had something at the church to do the next morning whether teach Sunday school or play in the worship service.

since we were the last to arrive, we got the kids room, bunk beds and even a kitchen set.
