Population 213
County seat, Knox County, TX
(One of the ugliest courthouses in Texas!)
Our central meeting place for GKC pickup.
In the last year,
they have received cell phone service!
The annual tree picture
that always brings tears
by the time it is done.
Inch worm...
Inch worm...
measuring the marigolds...
John found some baby birds!
Round 'em up
Head 'em up and move 'em out!
Rollin.. Rollin.. Rollin...
Lunch was about thirty minutes away-
a picnic at a perfect little roadside park.
The kids found HUGE grasshoppers!
Interesting pose.
Turning our thoughts back to food...
Dessert is the best!
Especially pudding!
Wrong side of the law?
Tired campers?
And we've not even started!
Overheard from the backseats
of the Land Cruiser
(before the exhaustion hit),
Mitchell, "Look at that train!"
Brock, "It's not moving!"
Mitchell, "I think it is out of gas!"
Brock, "I think that it's stuck!"
Holly Grace with a voice of reason,
"It is moving, just very slowly."
Charlotte,
"Grammy, will you be the mommy puppy?"
Grammy, "woof woof"
Grammy, "wait, how many puppies?"
Charlotte, "four in this car
and three in Paw Paw's truck!"
"Woof! Woof!"
Welcome to Grandkid's Camp 2010!
Thank you, Christi for the t-shirts!
Thank you to Great Steve
for the T-shirt design!
We love them!
The Big Texan Limo.
Mitchell is cool.
Brock is not impressed.
Charlotte is just happy to be here.
Will and Jack are very excited,
along with Grant and Holly Grace!
Our driver.
The Limos only carry seven,
so we had to have two!
Rocking them all at one time!
I loved it!
Miss Star was our server.
She was great!
She took our orders,
brought our food,
cleaned our spill,
and did the dishes!
Who could ask for more?
The evening off!
A souvenir hat for everyone
and a round of fun
at the shooting gallery.
Thank you, Paw Paw!
A female sheriff.
Waiting for the return limo.
Return trip.
From limos to 4 wheelers!
A fun little dessert.
A little after dinner entertainment.
A round of fireworks!
LOUD fireworks!
Too loud for Charlotte.
She wanted to go inside,
take a bath
and a little rest.
Grammy accepted this offer.
Good night, all!
Oh, man. It doesn't get any better. Hey ... I don't recall you ever getting a limo for me when I was a kid? Looks like fun!!!
