Canyon Lake

We took advantage of the Columbus Day Holiday and Texas’  summer like October weather to do some “camping”.   The Air Force has a recreation area at nearby Canyon Lake and it was perfect.  I realize, now that J..h is in school, how important it is to vacation as a family.  The girls love being together and I love watching their silly spontaneous play blossom like it only can when you are away from the normal day to day routine.

The fun of camping with all the comforts of home.

Our trailer had a queen bed  (we brought up our memory foam topper and it was super comfy) bunk beds and a futon for Biddy.  He also had our own bathroom/shower, fridge, oven and microwave.

 

We took a morning walk to the Lake which was nice and warm and filled with sea shells.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They gathered quit a collection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Biddy preferred dry land.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our daily visitors

 

They deer were very tame and loved to hang out at our camp because the girls put out carrots, apples, celery, and watermelon.

 

We saw lots of birds too but this was the only one that help still long enough for me to take a picture.

 

We spent the afternoons as the lake.

Susanna loved pretending to be a mermaid.

   

Jennah helped me build a mud mountain and volcano island. They turned out super cool. 

  

Nothing better then Dutch Oven cobbler!

Getting dirty is one of the hazards of camping.      Good thing Biddy didn’t mind.

 

My favorite part of camping….

Walking to the Docks.

Despite the rough seas we took the girls on a motor boat ride.  Susanna was not thrilled and Jennah got sea sick.

Biddy managed a smile but it didn’t stick around for all forty five minutes of the water torture.

After the ride they got to feed the fish and get an ice cream so there is some hope that they will have fond memories of the boat and step foot in one again.

 

A place for the birds to roost complete with snacks, water and some Texas Pride.
