Guadalupe River

Well, it stays hot around here for awhile and we wanted to enjoy the nice weather before it got down in to the shivering 50's. We took a day trip with our friends the Easton's to Guadalupe River. This is a great place, and only about 45 minutes away. Unfortunately we decided a try a new route with our friends and we caravaned some 2 1/2 hours getting lost on little TX back roads that the GPS didn't recognize. I think there was a short period of time where we wanted to give up but it didn't last too long. I think we were just so frustrated, we concluded that we would find this place no matter what. So we ate our picnic lunch in the car instead of the river, but we finally made it there and we had a blast!

Lillie was in heaven. She floated all afternoon down tiny natural rapids, made friends with total strangers (which I have never seen her do), and practiced her underwater swimming skills. The girl is a fish and completely taught herself to swim this summer.

Good ol' Samuel boy and those goggles. He never sticks his head under the water but he is absolutely convinced that he needs these things to swim. Always be prepared right?
