Foxfire

We have been gone for the past three days at our Family Reunion. Most of people from my father's side of the family get together every year to just chill together. 

Foxfire is a small piece of land that includes a river (may I interrupt myself to add the word 'freezing!' to that river...) and some small cabins in which to lodge. It is near Lost Maples State Park. We were in cabin 3, Yellow Flower.

We had a great time playing at the little park near the office were we could play on a tire-swing or other swings and a little structure. We kids (meaning me, my brother, and my cousin) had a 
great time. There was also the choice of basket ball and the, as I mentioned before, FREEZING 
(as an under statement!) river. My cousin and I really enjoyed the river and our new found pet frog, Fred. Another new found friend is kitty, 

or as I called it, Ginger. The rapids part of the 
river was warmer, but not very rapid.
A clothes line (go figure) divided the colder, 
deeper part of the river from the rapids.



 

Dad's cousin always knows just what to grab from the store or sale for us! She got me a horse snow globe, and my brother a raccoon dangly thing-a-majig. It is SO smart! 

So, all in all, we got to spend time with some of our family and have fun doing it. I had a magnificent time relaxing and enjoying nature. God is really creative and He knows how to express it. No matter where I go, He comes to remember that spot in the river or that tree. I think He also enjoys seeing how we react to those beautiful things He made.
