Monday was the first day of Casey's spring break from school (and the only day he has off from his jobs) so we took advantage of the day off and headed out to Cedar Hills State Park. It is about 20 miles from us, just south of Dallas. We had a nice time at the park. It has 300+ overnight camping places and many day use sites as well. I think we will try to camp there sometime when we have a couple of nights open...and the weather looks cooperative. The park surrounds one side of a lake. We spent some time on the beach, but it was a little cool to play in the water. The boys put their feet in...and Josiah slipped off a "slimy" step and fell down, but that was all the water play we had. Casey and Ethan tried to skip rocks and Josiah splashed his feet around in the water.
Another section of the park has an old farm homestead dating back to the 1850's. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the old buildings and farm equipment. Ethan said that he would like to live on a farm or ranch...except for all the chores he'd have to do. The park has lots of trails, but they were all closed because of wet conditions. So, that means we will have to go back. There is one trail in particular that is for mountain biking, so Casey is excited to try that when we go back. After the park we headed into the town of Cedar Hills and did some shopping.
