Memorial Day Part 3

For the rest of the weekend we played in the South Llano River. It was fun to play in the canoe and wade with the kids. You just can't beat a weekend in the warm sunny weather. The kids were very brave in the water and loved sitting in the canoe by themselves. It was a nice way to start our summer and spend time with family!

Memorial Day Part 2

We took a beautiful drive from Kerrville to Lost Maples state park. The hill country in Texas is so pretty. Rolling hills, old rock walls, trickling streams, lavendar fields, and cactus everywhere. I think I fell in love with this area over the weekend. Hopefully we can live there at some point.

Once we arrived at the park, we took a hike that crossed the river a few times and the kids were so excited to splash and get soaked while fully dressed. The hike was a little longer than we expected and the kids started to poop out, so Dougas ran back to the car, got the stroller, and ran back. No P90X needed that day, he got his workout! They were so much happier to enjoy the scenery while sitting in their coach, munching on snacks and sipping cold beverages. Actually Grandpa Riley and I were a bit jealous.

Gracie's favorite part: Splashing in the water!

Marley too!

Darlene was a trooper and walked as far as she could before the heat got to her.

Gracie was like a mountain goat

So Happy!
