I am not sure when it started but I remember being extremely young camping out at the lake. We always went to Possum Kingdom Lake, which is between Abilene and Dallas. It was only about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away so it was the perfect weekend get away. My brothers and I would go with my mom and our family friend to the State Park for a couple weekends and then once a month go with my dad to the same place.
We started out sleeping in tents and play on the jet ski's, then we got a pop-up trailer and a boat, and eventually when we went with my mom would get a hotel on the other side of the lake and take the boat out during the days. I loved spending the weekends out on the lake. Not a Care in the world but how long you could hang on to that intertube. My mom used to make killer breakfast burritos and my dad would fix amazing home-made peach cobler on the fire pit.
We knew Possum Kingdom like the back of our hands we were there so much. Sometimes our cousins and aunts would come with us and that made it all the more fun! Neeley and I spent one summer traveling with a family friend and her boat going from one end of texas at Horseshoe bay on lake LBK to a lake up in Arkansas. We mastered the "Chariot" inter-tube that summer!
We started going to Lake Brownwood with my mom and Gary and staying at his lake house spending our afternoons playing on his boat and jet-skis.
All my summer memories growing up are from the lake! So many joyous times spent with family and friends on the water.
This past weekend I went was so excited to get to go to the lake for the first time this summer. Drew's brother has a boat and we decided to travel 2 hours to Ute Lake in New Mexico to take it out for a spin.
It was a weekend full of laughter, and a little screaming on the tube, jumping in the water when it got to hot, eating good food, playing horseshoes, relaxing and a little sunburning. Just what I neeeded on a weekend off!
