It's hot out here. Yes. Let's get on the road. Let's get on the road. Come on y'all
Hey guys!
We just got out. We went by the grocery store and filled her up. We do that every so often
We're still in our sticks and bricks. Trying to get things going.
So came out of storage, and we went to the grocery store. Sometimes we just pop in the grocery store in the back
and
Fill her up. It makes it easy
We're headed up to Huntsville State Park on i-45 right now
We just got out of Houston and we have a special guest with us on this trip
Stacie's mom, Kay, is with us! She's back there. Maybe Stacie can show you
There she is!
You'll see more from her throughout this video
We plan on having a good time with family, so hang in there with us. We'll have a little fun.
Just got into the state park!
It's right off I-45 / 75.
HaHa! UPS even delivers to Huntsville State Park!
That's not something your expect to see!
Saving a turtle
We cannot see him get squished. No one wants turtle soup tonight.
So he's going to go back to the side.
Hello! Welcome to Huntsville State Park!
I hope we put you on the correct side
If he's trying to get to that side, he has a problem.
So one of the things we always like to do and I think we've talked about this before is
We like to have our flagpole on the back ladder and we found this several years ago
this solar light
That we can connect to the top of our flag pole runs off solar power and it lights up our flags at night
So it's awesome. And it also therefore it gives just a little bit of light also
To the back of our camping area so we don't have to you know, put lanterns out and stuff when we're on
You know kind of a small camping area, so it's really neat. We really like it a lot. So
Tom's putting it together and then we're gonna put our flags up
Cooking up some fajitas. We're cooking chicken fajitas
And in the pan here we just have green and red bell peppers, some onions and butter
for our fajitas. and over here...
We've got our chicken here this marinated all day
In the fridge we put together kind of a marinade
Here's a little bitty piece. I'll see how we did.
Oh, yeah, that'll work that'll work. Let me share with Stacie.
Good. We'll have to share the recipe with y'all another time because we just
threw it together.
But it was good. That's good. We just threw it together. So we wanted to see what it was gonna come out like but
It's very good. We're eating good tonight
Everything tastes better when it's cooked outside always and this is our campsite
And we're just showing you you know what our particular campsite looks like right now
But we're gonna do a full video on Huntsville State Park. So be sure you watch for that because
Yeah, this is a it's a CCC park and you know, we love those
So be sure to watch our channel and we'll be putting that out soon
We all ready to go and look we got Grammy over here
Our friend Greg made us this walking stick how awesome is that, so we're loving it Greg very cool. Thank you
And Greg is one of our real good community members very active in our community him and his wife
Here let's get going
Anybody for a restroom break. Restrooms are right over there.
Make sure you take care of that
Thank you Greg for making this!
This is why Grandmas carry walking sticks
We almost had a viral video there
Nothing like the smell of bacon in the morning
Not a bad view. It's been a real nice campsite here
The campsites are a little unlevel here at Huntsville, but we found one that wasn't too bad
And Stacie will show you. We kind of did a makeshift to
Help to make our cooking level here, and it's working fine
Just grabbed some old business cards! Some old business cards haha
Whatever works, yeah
I always cook the bacon, Stacie cooks the eggs
That's true. It's a system.
So okay when we're at home
usually
we're having a blend for breakfast a vegetable blend which where we throw a bunch of veggies in the blender and
Making it a juice so a little off our normal
reservation but you know, we're camping so we gotta every now and then have some good old bacon and eggs
But when we go full time we plan on doing
the blending
Yes, we're gonna take it with us when we can get
When we can get fresh vegetables and stuff, right
So since we're already doing the bacon and eggs this morning why not make it a full breakfast and add the pancakes
These little containers making it really easy
Yeah, I love these little ready-made
Just add water and you got pancakes
All right getting the Jeep prepared to go running around
It's a little too hot to have the top totally off, but we can let more air in.
We'll get going here
To the store and that's the park store
Yes, the park store, they have a store here in Huntsville State Park. Well show it to you. Yep
Got us a little on a nice warm day we got a nice ice cream
This little squirrel has been working on getting up here
For several minutes he tried climbing the pole that didn't work
So then he climbed the tree and jumped over he's pretty athletic pretty impressive
We're out filming our Huntsville State Park video
you know, we love to visit these state parks and
If you're not familiar with our channel, check out our playlist on
Texas campgrounds and we also have one specifically about CCC parks parks that were built in Texas by the Civilian Conservation Corps and
Huntsville is one of those parks
so today while it's quiet, we're out filming this behind me is the Raven Lodge which was
built by the Civilian Conservation Corps back in 1942
So be sure to watch for that video and Tom's back there somewhere
Enjoying a beautiful day
Well guys this is gonna do it with our trip to Huntsville State Park for the family reunion
We had so much fun seeing everybody and visiting with family that we hadn't seen in a long time
Yeah, and we had a lot of fun
With Stacie's mom, Kay that went along with us. And and so we wanted to kind of get her take on
this this trip so
Mom, what did you what was your favorite thing on this trip?
I think just getting back out to nature having camped for many many years when Stacie and them we're growing up
Tent, pop-up and RV Class C
So getting back out into the woods into the nature
Yeah, you can kind of see where Stacie got it from and why she enjoys this
Because they did she had many adventures with her mom and dad
Unfortunately, her dad's not with us anymore, but her mom gets to go out with us from time to time
totally enjoy
Yeah, and so, you know it was neat to be able to share a well tell your perspective in the new RV
How comfortable was it? It was very comfortable very very comfortable
lots of space good movement
comfortable at night and very quiet
I mean the area was quiet with the noise input from outside
Was amazing. You didn't hear that much noise
well, what do you think we're going to be able to full time in this? I think you can I think if you
If you plan the areas of what you're going to use. Yeah
You'll be able to do it. It will be different for a while. But you'll do it.
So and you want to go on more journeys with us? if you say so.
You rattle the keys, I've got my bag packed!
You're probably gonna see her again, I have a feeling
