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!

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
