Day Trip to Trinity Lakes

Last Saturday Shelby and I decided that we had to get out of town and do something fun. He had heard a lot about Trinity Lakes that are located north of Anderson Reservoir and wanted to go check them out. It sounded like a great day to me. We drove for just over 2 hours, but this was the view that awaited us. It was beautiful there and the lakes were seriously on the tip top of the tallest mountain.

The kids loved to 'fish'. We didn't get there until almost lunch time, so most of the fish had quit biting, but we did catch two smaller ones that the kids thought were 'awesome'.

My studly husband- there's just something really wonderful about a father who sincerely enjoys spending time and building memories with his family. It does it for me every time :)


The kids finally couldn't stand it anymore and they had to get in the freezing water. So they stripped and climbed in. It didn't really last longer than 15 minutes or so, but it cooled them off.

Wyatt got a little crazy with his fishing skills and one time this is where his pole ended up. Daddy was nice enough to wade in and save it for him.

After a few hours we headed back down the mountain to Anderson Reservoir and spent the afternoon laying on the beach and swimming with the kids. I think we wore Daddy out though because he had to take a quick 'refresher' nap on the beach before he could swim with us. :)

It was such a fun day that reminded me that even though we're both so crazy busy right now with church stuff, family things, etc. It's still possible to make fun memories and enjoy the summer without it taking more than a few hours.
