Saturday Afternoon Fun

This past Saturday, we had unseasonably high temperatures (up into the 60’s.) We couldn’t possibly let the day go by without going out and enjoying it!

Daddy suggested that we visit one of the parks nearby. He used to run there when he first moved to Texas, but the rest of us had never been there before. There’s a nice trail that’s about a mile long and goes around the lake. So it was time for a hike!

Thankfully the trails weren’t too muddy, despite all the rain we had last week. It was an absolutely perfect day for a hike!

Skipping rocks on the lake.

There were some beautiful overlooks on part of the trail!

One of the number one reasons people come to this park is because of the dam. The hill is so steep that people bring cardboard boxes and sled down it. We didn’t have boxes, but we did go running up and down the hill several times at the end of our hike.

After our hike, we went out for dinner! We had been given gift cards to Olive Garden. We hadn’t been there to eat since 2007, so it was a really nice treat! Our family always enjoys a good Italian meal. J

Everybody at the restaurant.

It was such a fun afternoon and evening! We always enjoy doing fun things together as a family. J
