Well it was pretty wonderful and peaceful (when I hid from kids) but not driving back in through Houston storms and floods!

No horseback riding, they were not doing it. But the kids and I caught fish. My son is a sticlker for releasing them... bummer. Shocking no skeeters! Found a great site open right near the bank of the lake. Had very silly squirls (how do you spell that?? (no spell check here) One day out there I sat on the steps gazing at the lake to look to my otherside to see one about to hop in my lap! I about messed my britches. Went back and fed him some wheat bread. The next day sitting out alone at the picnic table drinking my water, my ice clanked in my cup. Got another one's attention and it came running over. It liked ice I was tossing to it. Thing was I did not see the one sitting on the bench next to me waiting for it's piece LOL. So it scared the hell out of me again.

Watched and fed Blue Jays, and watched woodpeckers and humming birds. The neatest part was an Alligator Guar swimming up and down the bank, it had to be 4 - 5 ft long. It was huge. It is on video.

It was great but I am worn plum out. Have a ton of unpacking to do and cleaning... Will try to play catch up soon. I have learned that I need to take the time out to go visit the lake and state park next to my house. I knew I loved fishing, but I have just not wanted to do anything in so long I forgot how much I love it. I just have to force myself to do it and remember I will be happy once I am drowning some bait! Will have to try to post an awesome pic of the sunset over the lake from my camp site. I had a great view.
