Outdoor Fun

We are outdoorsy people, or at least we try really hard to be.  I love to be outside, in the water, or being active somehow, however, sometimes the Texas heat can really get the best of me.  We are trying to get a lot of our favorite outdoor activities in before it gets to stinkin' hot!  It looks like summer is going to come early this year, and I'm betting it's going to be brutal.

We have really wanted to go camping lately, but we can't quite get healthy enough to do the full-blown overnight thing.  A couple of weeks ago I was sick, and then Olivia, and now Dave is finally getting close to feeling 100%.  We decided just a day trip to check out a new spot would be all we could manage.  We drove up to Arkansas Bend which is in Lago Vista, about 25 minutes from our house.

Even with Lake Travis being really low, it was still so gorgeous out at this spot.  We will definitely go again sometime this summer.  There was lots of shade, lots of seclusion and easy water access.

Olivia LOVES to be outside.  She says "outside" a million times a day.  Today the very first word out of her mouth when she awoke from her nap was outside.  We have reached that point in Olivia's toddlerhood where we need to spell certain words so we don't trigger and activity we aren't necessarily ready to commit to at the time.   Needless to say, she loved our little day trip.



Olivia started out her afternoon with a great outdoor nap.  These are the best kind.

After nap time we got in some water clothes.



The water was still a little cold even though it was a 90 degree day.


Dinner time!


The corn on the cob was a hit.



The rest of the weekend we spent running errands, shopping, and cleaning.  We decided to buy Olivia her own little fold up chair because she loved to climb in and out of ours.

My baby girl looks like such a big girl!


Sunday afternoon we went over the Gammie and Yaya's house for some family time and dinner.  Once again we spent a good amount of time outside!  We had a wonderful weekend.
