Galveston Island Adventure

 

Sam has been really struggling with the heat so Bryson suggested they stay home in the nice cool air conditioning and just chill while everyone else went out.

 We spent last weekend doing a bit of a test run/shakedown of our camp set up for summer adventuring season.
