Tyler State Park

For the second part of our spring break camping trip, we headed to Tyler State Park.  Again, we had some unfortunate weather (super cold and super windy on our first day there), but we were still able to explore much of the park.  It's on our list of favorites and we look forward to visiting again during a warmer period.

How we spent a good portion of our first day there - staying warm and playing inside the RV.

Bundled up and ready to go explore.

My cuties!

Brady loves trails!!!  He often likes to run the trails, which is what he was doing when I snapped this picture.

Swinging from branches - always good fun.

King of the world!

Dawson likes to take the time to explore all the cool looking areas off the trails.

Garner guys hiking along merrily.

There was a neat playground at Tyler SP and the boys had a good time playing there.

Hahaha.  I posted this picture because of that adorable expression.

Dawson's method of playing at playgrounds frequently involves climbing all over the top of the structure.

Mmm, refreshing water.  And oh so cute boy!

:-)

It was warmer on our 2nd day so we hiked all the way around the lake.  It was so beautiful.

Awe, Dawson!  I love this kid.

Returning from an exploration off the trail, down in this neat gully area.

The trail around the lake had little docks that jetted onto the lake where you could sit and enjoy the view.

Dawson kindly took this picture of Randy and me.

Watching the minnows.

No idea what this pose is supposed to be, but it sure is funny!

It's always neat to walk across a fallen tree.

And jump through vines!

At the beaver dam on the other side of the lake.

We didn't see any beavers, but we did see this cute little turtle - and a not-so-cute water snake.

Awe!

So sweet!

Nice resting spot.

One, two, three, jump!

One of my favorites!  The boys are cute as ever and it's a nice view of the lake and swimming area.

Another silly Brady pose.
