Village Creek State Park

We got a last minute urge to go camping and enjoy the beautiful weather Sunday and Monday. Katy went home with Mimi to Lubbock so we just had Brylie. We had a really great time! This was our first time to visit Village Creek State Park and we loved it! The campsite was 500 feet back into the woods so we had to make use of the wagon and lug all our stuff back to the site. It was right on the ledge of the creek and surrounded by pine trees. We even went on a 2 mile hike around to the other side of the creek where there was a nice sand bank and swimming area. It was obviously much too cold to swim but we will definitely be back when it warms up. Once the sun went down we roasted marshmallows and sat by the fire. It was great to finally use all our camping gear we got for Christmas. We really do have the Hilton of camping by the time it’s all set up. I wish Katy had been there to enjoy the weekend with us but I know she is having fun in Lubbock. By the way, the snake in the picture is one we found on the trail just beside our campsite. Creepy!
