Archery

One quick lesson and the instructor trusted me 
with a bow and several
arrows, however the lesson did not yield a 
bulls eye.  Must have been the instruction : )

Camp Olympia

As I walked the camp grounds, I visited it's permanent residents.
 These huge sows, snorted and grunted their approval of 
my short visit, following me along their sty fence.
 This guy greeted me very enthusiastically, when he
relaized I had no food to offer him, he quickly 
left and climbed
his ramp.
 Another curious billy.
 For Rachael: a Texas sized chicken coup.
The tranquil, beautiful horses

Lake Livingston retreat

 Texas beautiful live oak trees with hanging moss
Lake Livingston
 I stayed in Apollo cabin through the trees.
 Nice fresh air to breathe.
 Peaceful lakeside place to journal, read God's Word and prayer.
