Chicot State Park

 We went to Chicot State Park for Thanksgiving.  The older three had a blast!  H and J got cold a good bit I think.  J was scared of being inside the tent which was unexpected because when it was set up in our yard he enjoyed going in and out.
We stayed two nights and were pretty tired when we got home.  It was very memorable though.

 This is the trunk of a cypress tree.  The 'stumps' are the 'knees' of the tree.  The parts of the root that come up for air.
 The lake was down five feet because of low rainfall.
 The older kids really enjoyed the fire.  We cooked sweet potatoes for our thanksgiving meal.  We wrapped them in tin foil and put them straight in the fire.  I wasn't sure how they would turn out or how long they would take to cook.  They tasted better than when I make them in my oven at home.
The Louisiana State Arboretum is in the park.  We took a nice walk through the surprisingly hilly terrain.
