Lake Conroe

 We got a Groupon for a deal on a pontoon rental up at Lake Conroe, so we picked a perfect Saturday and made the trek up there.  The girls napped relatively well on the drive up and we had a great time swimming and playing on the lake.

I was pretty petrified about the girls jumping and swimming and checked and re-checked the security of their life jackets about 100 times.  The girls, on the other hand, were fearless.  They watched their dad do a cannonball and were then unstoppable.  Dan, GPa, and I wore out well before they did, just guiding them back and forth from the water to the ladder.  

After one of our swimming stops, we attempted to take a quick cruise around the lake to look at a lighthouse but alas, the anchor was stuck.  After much maneuvering and some strenuous pulling, GPa and Dan reined victorious over the tree that held us captive. (Lake Conroe is a man-made lake that was dammed in 1972, so there is, apparently, a drowned forest under the surface.)
