Huntsville State Park

On Thursday, May 13th, we headed up toward Huntsville to go boating at the park. 
It was overcast with a cool breeze.  A great day to be on the water.

Unfortunately...when we got there and paid our entrance fee...they informed us that the boat rentals are only open Friday-Sunday during May and that they would be open during the weekdays too in the month of June.

Doh!  So, we drove an hour up there with the excitement mounting and were disappointed.

We played on the playground and went on a nice long walk anyway.  We didn't get any great pictures, but here are a few.

Sophie sat on the paddle boat we never got to use.  You may also notice the mismatched socks.  Sophie insisted on wearing her "boating" socks and these are them!
Tried to get a picture with the squirmy wormies. 

After the park we drove through Elkins Lake.  It is a retirement golf community that Brian's grandparents lived in until his grandpa passed away 13 years ago.  Brian spent many summers there and has very fond memories.  The best picture from our trip happened here on the way out of the subdivision we spotted some deer.

Cutest picture award goes to Lydia who fell asleep reading a book (that she had upside down) on the way home.







This trip also met #56 of the 101 Goals in 1,001 days "Visit two state parks in Texas."  Yeah!

Love,
