Cooper Lake, Texas

Last week was Spring break in Texas schools. We took some time off to enjoy the break with the kids. Also  kept up with our tradition of visiting a local state park and gave our best shot at not doing anything. My bar is set pretty low when it comes to Texas State park. Other than the close proximity, you are truly not missing anything by not visiting this one.

Like most parks, you could still do canoeing, swimming (may be not in March), and some long hiking trails.

The green pastures and the healthy cows were a sight for the sore eye. Too bad I did not stop the car to take pictures. You already know the books I read. Here's a pictorial of what else we did.

Camp fire in Lake Cooper

Long walk on the road as the hiking path was wet and slimy from all the rain.
