Camping on Bayou

Life these days is an adventure. Plain and simple. Some adventures aren't so fun. Like visits to the hospital and late-night illnesses. Others are downright fun. Like floating on the bayou in a canoe and thinking that every branch has eyes and is an alligator peeking at you.

Spring Break provided us an opportunity to explore some more of Texas. We rented a 7,000 lb motorhome and pulled it to the middle of nowhere, Tx. Near the Louisiana border. We enjoyed the rolling hills crowded with tall trees and green grass growing in every spare inch.

We also enjoyed renting canoes and floating along the rivers and bayous that lead to largest lake, Sam Rayburn. The only downside was an incoming storm which caused us to turn back early. Trent loves water and we discovered, canoes as well!
Being in God's creation reminds me of His love for beauty which brings me joy. I love to be surrounded by all kinds of natural beauty.

An amazing crew. Brave, patient, talented and down-right wonderful.

We took our bikes along and enjoyed some off-road trail riding as well as swimming, roasting marshmellows, telling crazy stories around the campfire and playing on the nearby playground. Our camping neighbors were friendly folk that we had to chance to visit with and enjoy as well.

The only hitch to the entire trip was the little part about getting caught in a snowstorm on the way home, the freeways shutting down and all the bridges freezing over while trying to tow an enormous trailer in blizzard snow and wind. THAT was an adventure!
