What a Difference a Couple of Months Make

When we arrived at Stephen F Austin in January. . .

Monaco blends right into the setting

this was how our campsite looked

Park Hosting at Stephen F Austin State Park

and only three short months later. . .

completely green. . .all the tree canopies filled out. . .just beautiful

For the most part, we have enjoyed being Park Hosts at

Stephen F Austin State Park in San Felipe TX,

and wanted to share just a few of the projects we have taken part in. . .

Pouring Sidewalks

cement work. . .I’ve never been that close to a cement truck in my life. . .

Cabin Sidewalk

finished project looks great. . .I also painted the barbecue pit. . .

assisted with painting the eaves around the perimeter. . .

and putting a second coat of stain on the cedar. . .fun!

Stain Bunk Beds in CabinStain Furniture in Cabin

helped with staining the furniture. . .that was some potent stain. . .let me tell you!  Wow. . .

Donna

this itty, bitty little woman, Donna, built all that massive furniture you saw in the previous pics. . .

I don’t even know how she managed it. . .but she did a great job!

Bird Feeding Platforms

here’s the extent of my building ability. . .

Dave and I put together these bird feeding platforms for the Wildlife Area. . .

Catfish ReleaseSFA - releasing the catfish into the Brazos - there he goes!

gave intern Brittany a ride to the river to release a catfish

that had outgrown the aquarium in the Nature Center. . .

Taking Kindergartners on a hikeHike with Kindergartners

took 100 kindergartners on a hike. . .25 at a time. . .

Ranger Lisa

Ranger Lisa took the other 100. . .so 200 kindergartners total. . .

Add to all this our regular duties of bathroom maintenance,

mowing, and fire pit clean out. . .

it has been a very busy few months indeed!

 

We leave here a week from tomorrow to meet up with our buyers

who are driving down from Pennsylvania to pick up

Beauty and the Beast. . .we are looking forward to meeting them. . .

and introducing them to their new ride. . .

 

Until next time
