Factoid: My dad always told me that there is only 1 natural lake in TX, Caddo Lake. After quickly researching this today, all my childhood dreams were shattered. There are actually several natural lakes. And Caddo Lake is now dammed to raise the water level.
Back to the "Lake" House: So far we have 6 adults and 4 kids here (my parents, siblings, and their children). Later we will have another 2 kids and 6 more adults. Holy cow!
There is a dock at the end of the lawn with a nice sloping rock shore. In 2 days, we have already spent hours swimming in the river. This primarily involves the adults treading water at the end of the dock while the kids jump in and then swim to shore. It is quite a workout!
My dad had a great idea of renting a golf cart. So far it has been the main attraction of the trip. We have been taking expeditions to find wild animals and other natural curiosities (bamboo and wild watermelon).
We still have several crazy days of relaxing, swimming, and putting around in the golf cart. Woo hoo!
