Places to go in the fall near DFW

The wonderful winter of 80 degrees makes it much more bearable to go to the state parks near Dallas. I also hope that we can avoid the snakes as well.

Today we went to Ray Roberts Lake State Park Isle du Bois. The lake is very pretty there, and there are TONS of trees.

Needless to say, the dogs were tire out on the way home, but they enjoyed their day. We even saw a deer, which Tapu promptly barked out and scared away.

🐾 Where do you like to walk your dogs?
