Reconnaissance Mission

Since we moved to Texas, we have only been out boating a handful of times.   Partly because the boat is far away in a storage unit, and partly because the few times we went were a little disappointing.  So on Memorial Day, we decided to check out a lake 20 minutes from our house that we heard was a pretty good place to go.  We packed up my parents and a picnic and drove up to three different parks to investigate.  We found a lovely lake with three boat ramps that were not terribly busy, even on a hot holiday weekend.  I think we have found our new boating place.  It's not surrounded by evergreens, but it has its own unique beauty, and we can get there easily on a hot afternoon after work. 

Picnic under the shade of a shelter--there was a nice breeze, and in the shade we were actually comfortable, even though it was about 95 degrees.


The kids wanted to walk down to the lake.  I gave them my usual speech:  "Watch for snakes!!"



Thankfully, no snakes!
