Back Home

We had a great time camping!!!! Being out in the woods for a couple of days was renewing, even though we didn't do much hiking as I'd hoped we would. Fisheating Creek offers a fairly small campground so the choices of hiking trails close to where we were limited. N went fishing early Saturday morning and then was too tired for much else, although we did visit a friend of his who lives in Venus. His friend wasn't home but his son rode us around their property on a golf cart, where we were followed by hungry black Angus cows. They mooed at us until we rode far enough away for them to lose interest. We enjoyed the company of some very cool people on this trip, which always makes for a good time. Lots of great conversation, quiet woodland nights, campfire, an afternoon boatride up the river. Fantastic! I cajoled our daughter into taking a short walk with me to an amazing cypress stand near our camp. The light filtering through the trees helped to create an area of peace and mystery. That was about as far as I could get her to walk with me; our daughter loves to run around, but she likes to go where she wants to go, and guided tours are rarely withstood.
