Canoeing cut short


We took a ride up to Lake Ray Roberts State Park today to get out on the water with the family (and friends Brenda and Jaden). We rented a canoe and set off. Unfortunately there are no sheltered accesses to any of the rivers and the wind was a little bit too strong across the Lake for us to leave the cove. So we lapped the cove a few times (it is very small) and then turned the canoe back in. Brenda and Jaden never even got their kayak off the roof.


Next we set off on a hike across some of the Texas prairie, through the woods and down along the shore with Lucky and Sprite (Brenda's dogs).



The wind away from the water was very pleasant and the sun warm but not hot. The hike wasn't long but Jaden's not quite four and his legs are short. So I'd call it perfect. We stopped for Mexican food on the way home and finished at home with a nap. I'd say it was a good day all the way around.
