Good morning good morning to the second full day in Houston with my beloved mommy’s side of the family! We first started out our day with a walk around the natural lake by one of my uncle’s house that I mentioned yesterday! There is a paved trail that circles the lake (1.75 miles round trip).
[[ Okay I had originally pre wrote the blog last night and I don’t know what happened to everything! Only the first paragraph posted!! So I’m just going to repost the pictures and name the food because it’s too much to re-write lol ]]It was a bunch of my uncles and aunts and some cousins. The view was nice, the sky was clear and bright, and the air felt fresh.
We also took a little detour into the off trail!
