Lakeview (Visiting Again)

-

 August 23 - 24, 2021

Second visit to Lakeview.  We like bringing the littles with us here because they have a bounce pillow, a lake with a sandy beach, and a fishing lake.  

We left Friday after I picked one of the littles up from his school.  Off we set, knowing a hurricane was in the Gulf.  We headed further east than where we live, so we kept a close eye on the storm.  We grilled, watched movies, and headed to bed.

Saturday morning, we took the littles to the beach where they had a blast.  They played in the sand, sat in the water, and just generally enjoyed themselves.  After lunch, we headed to the campground store where they got candy.  We then headed home a day early.  What is normally a 1-1/2 hour trip took 3 hours.  But, it was fine, and we were glad we headed in.  Hurricanes in the Gulf are nothing to sneeze at, and Ida ended up hitting early.  We were spared - unfortunately, the east of the state was not.

It is always a good time with our grandbabies, and we are excited to do it again.  We have another trip planned for my birthday.  The Lallybroch heads in for a check-up, and then we go to explore a new state park.

Mandatory Evacuation

  August 26, 2020 Mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Laura... Talk about leaving in a hurry!  Packed up a four-year old grandchild, headed down the road to Lampasas, Texas, with no provisions and no idea what we were doing. And the adventure began.  Arrived at a campground called  Our Friends Campground.  They were gracious and helped us out so much.  Especially as we were leaving on the Saturday after we arrived, backing up the SUV to hook up, and realized someone had stolen our hitch.  (Not at the campground - probably WalMart.)  So, off we go, again, but this time with two grandchildren (2 and 4) and head off to find a new hitch.  A seven-hour trip ended up taking 13 hours.  Needless to say, I wasn't sure I was made out for this camping life.  We had already run out of gas and lost the camper keys on the way home from picking up the camper.  So, we get home to no power, no water, almost no way to get down the streets.  ...

May 28 - 30, 2021 This is our second military campground.  The spots were so small that some RV's couldn't back in.  The grandkids came with us.  But, we had a little boy that would not leave our campground and truly ruined the experience for us.  The campground was well kept, but the bathrooms left something to be desired.  There was a logging competition going on Saturday, and that was interesting.  The lake and beach were great with a bounce pillow and a great playground.  We were able to walk with the grandkids and get ice cream and look at the boats.  I don't know if I'd go back because of the closeness of the sites.
