 Canyon Lake

My girl loved the lake!

And she still does!

She also loves her little cousins

who very much enjoys the lake!

Today we went out to Canyon Lake, which is about 30 minutes northeast of where we live. I have great memories of many days & evenings spent at the lake when we used to live out there. It was when our oldest two were little, and then our 3rd was born out there also. Not "at" the lake, but ya know, at the house we lived in for 2 1/2 years right down the street from the lake. :-)  It really is a beautiful lake, especially in the spring. It's man-made, as the Guadalupe River flows into and out of it. 

   The kids had a blast out there today. And the weather was absolutely glorious. Lys and I were constantly counting 10 heads, well really 9 since the baby stayed right there by us. We only had one scare when my nephew ran out of breath, well basically just panicked out in the deep and alerted us with screams. It was hard to tell if it was drama or real, but Lys wasted no time running out into the water clothed to rescue him. 

   Back when we used to live out there she and I would take the ONLY 4 kids we had between us (and the two others that also were born while we lived there) to the lake quite often. (see picture at the top of the post) Time sure has flown by. How fun to watch these kiddos all growing up together. And how fast they all multiplied in number too!

     Our husbands were working out  there this afternoon near the lake, but then they joined us just before sunset. Seth brought everyone sub sandwiches & chips for dinner and we left just before the lake park closed! 

THEN, as 2 year olds.....

NOW as 8 year olds!

Whenever we go out to CL, which really has only been a couple times a year recently, I tell myself that I need to go out there more often. It's really the only thing I miss about living out there.......the LAKE!
