A trip to Caddo lake

With our friends visiting from Boston, we decided it was time to take a trip to the Caddo Lake state park (about 4 hr drive from Houston).





The best way to get around the park is probably by a boat and so we did- well we tried. When everyone else was scurrying towards the marina, our boat driver said "oh the storm is coming from this direction, lets go the other way" and so did with a three year old in tow! 
You see those thick dark clouds, they made it our way rather quickly. Heavy downpour, lightning strikes, thunder, a frightened 3 yr old and an even more scared mum and dad- those 5 minutes of boat ride were....well..." IT WAS A RAINING BOAT" she said!
The amazing thing though, to me, was how quickly the little one recovered from this little adventure boat ride and as soon as the sun was out she said "could we go on the boat" :)



Look at those bald cypress trees with spanish moss growing on them- kind of eerie...
