Caddo Lake [Spring Break 2014]

This year for Spring Break, we headed to East Texas for five days at Caddo Lake. It's become a family favorite. We love it there! This year we stayed in Barnstormer on Taylor Island (my favorite area to stay) and we had a lovely time! We spent a lot of time fishing, eating, canoeing, and just unplugging from our sometimes crazy life.

I love being on the water, so I went out in the canoes several times. Our last full day there, it was gorgeous, so we decided that we'd try to go all together (except for Granddaddy and Benjamin) in a few different canoes. Abby was not a fan, but we convinced her to go. Well, the trip was going wonderfully and everyone was having fun, when a motorboat sped by and the waves tipped the canoe carrying Aaron, Abby, and Mattie. The rest of us rushed over to try and help them because the water was deep and very cold and Abby was completely freaking out. We managed to get everyone out and to save the canoe, but I'm pretty sure Abby will never get into a canoe again!
They got soaked when the canoe tipped over, but they survived!
