Since we got our camper, we have really loved getting out and using it multiple times a year. We camped for a few days last year at Oak Hollow Lake when my parents came through town in their RV and really liked the campground. So in April, we decided to camp there for a week on our own. We picked a site that was close to the lake and gave us great views out our door of things like this:
Rebecca got out on her paddleboard and spent most mornings out on the lake with that view!
We don't always remember to take a picture of the caper itself, so here's a shot Rebecca took while I was cooking dinner.
The coolest thing about this lake was that we were able to put our boat in the water for a couple of days and dock it only a few yards away. We got to go out fishing and exploring on the lake a few times and really loved it.
The kids absolutely fell in love with fishing from the bank. They could stand on the rocks and toss a worm out and have a chance of catching a crappie or two.
Ezra showed some aptitude for it and had a bit of success.
One thing we never got a good picture of was the snakes that nested in those rocks. Not sure if they were Brown Water Snakes or Cottonmouths, but there were a lot of them and they completely ignored us. However, we did spot one with a catfish halfway in its mouth!
Besides fishing, there was a good deal of time spent just hanging out and reading books.
The nights on the lake were super peaceful and quiet. We're hoping that we can reserve a site here for Sukkot this fall!
