Sister Trip (sort of) to Bonham State Park

Jeanne came to town last week, and we took a little RV trip (Linda, Jeanne and me) to Bonham State Park.  My wonderful hubby George was kind enough to take us to the Park late Wednesday afternoon, and help us get set up.  Then, he went back home to work the rest of the week, and left us girls there to have some sister time.  

We missed Sue and since she wasn't with us, we named this squirrel after her.
Meet Susan Gayle.  
 She's maneuvering and eating a HORSE apple.
How appropriate!

The girls on their rope line.
Can you see them?

Linda and Jeanne went fishing.

They're the pink dots on the dock.

Linda caught this whopper!  I think his name is Moby Stick.

We love this quaint little park!  It's our second time here.  It's 90 minutes from home, and there are only 14 RV sites.  We had our choice of 13 spots, and took the awesome #1 site.

This is the way the Park looked that first night.
 Pretty empty--only one other RVer.

This pic and the one above show all the RV sites.
Reservations are necessary but the RV sites are not assigned.
It's first come, first serve.

There's a small, very sandy beach to the left of the pavilion and in front of the volleyball area which is in the sand you can see, just on the other side of the trees.
Jeanne was the only one who swam.  She said you could walk a long way out and only be to your waist.

Gotcha Jeanne

David came out around noon on Friday, but had to leave after breakfast on Saturday.

George arrived in the early evening on Friday.  He stayed until we all left together on Sunday.  YAY!

Saturday night George took off on his bike alone and navigated some of the bike trails.  One trail took him around the lake on the shore where he eventually landed in really soft muddy sand.  The bike went sideways and he flipped over the handle bars!  He was okay but when he got back to the RV, he realized his GPS has broken off the bike!  Linda, George and I trekked back to the scene of the crime, and after digging in the sand with a stick, we found it!  Yoo-hoo!


During the trip, we also rode bikes, played Scrabble, rented a paddle boat, and of course, pigged out!  It was a fun and special time!

Still Smiling,
