Fun at the Lake

For Memorial Day weekend, I knew I wanted to do something...just had no idea what it was. I definitely didn't want to be cooped up in the house. I wanted to enjoy the fresh air, surrounded by nature, enjoying the sunshine. So I quickly planned a little trip to Tyler State Park. Our friends from Dallas wanted to come visit so I decided they could come along with us. We'll just make a day out of it. I also invited my mom and my best friend to join us.

So it was threatening to rain all weekend and when we got out there, it even sprinkled a little bit, but then the sun came out and we had a total blast. It was like being a little kid again...going to the lake, eating a bunch of snacks, and just hanging out with the ones you love. It was great. Demetrius got to do some fishing (which he has been dying to do for MONTHS now!!). It was Jonah's first trip to the lake and although I was constantly watching for mesquitos, making sure he didn't sunburn, and watching his body temp. to make sure he didn't get too hot and dehydrated...I did manage to enjoy myself.

We hadn't been to Tyler State Park in years...maybe over 7. It was so beautiful...and we didn't realize how close it was from our house. We definitely plan on making more visits and inviting more people to go there. It was a great day...even when the rain finally came and sent us running to our cars for cover!!
