Yogi Bear Camping with Jason's, Pan's and Fong's Family in August

Stephanie and Theresa organized a camping weekend at Yogi Bear Campground nearby Houston for the Fongs, Pans and Tarns families.   It is about an hour drive from here and it has cabins for renting and a fun water park.  They also have fishing ponds for fishing, jungle gem for kids, art and craft center for different craft classes, hey rides and train rides.  For August weather in Houston, playing in the water park is the natural choice.  They have few slides, tubing, and pools.  We started with tubing and than gradually moved on to slides, from small slide to the giant slide.  One can slide down either using pads straight down or using tubing on circular slide.  It was a challenge, however, it was fun. Once you tried it, you want to do more.  

We have prepared nice dinners for 8 adults and 3 kids on both days.  Jason even built a camp fire for making S'mores with Hershey bar, marshmallow, and crackers.  The kids had the most of the fun with the camp fire and S'mores.

On the way back from Yogi Bear Camp, we decided to take a detour to visit the Blue Bell ice cream factory in Brenham.  We enjoined the factory tour to see the ice cream assembly line and surprised to learn that they use milk from approximately 60,000 cows each day, and the cream used during each day's production run is always less than 24 hours old. All production and packaging takes place within Blue Bell facilities, which are able to produce over 100 pints per minute.

After the tour, they did provide an opportunity to sample a serving of free ice cream.  Additional serving costs only $1, therefore some of us had more than one serving.
