Water fun

Originally uploaded by Lexy L.

On Wednesday, we had our monthy Nature Club outing. This time, we drove to San Marcos to go tubing down the dams at Rio Vista Park. It was fun. Scary, but fun. The water was surprisingly swift, so the moms there made a chain at the bottom to catch the kids before they went whooshing on down the river to God-knows-where. After a few hours of this, we were ready to go and find a less stressful activity. So, we hopped in the car with our friends, and drove off in search of new adventure.

Now, when our friends invited us to carpool with them, it was with the plans to play at the river, then go eat lunch at a little restaurant on the square in San Marcos. When I was invited, I joked that when she was thinking of who would be up for this last-minute restaurant trip, she must have considered which of her friends spends money with reckless abandon. And, immediately, I popped in her head. Well, I didn't let her down. Instead of eating out and heading home, we found ourselves pulling into none other than...Schlitterbahn!

After quick calls to our hubbys from the parking lot with instructions not to hold dinner, we began water adventure #2. We only had about 4 1/2 hours at the park before they closed, so we dashed from ride to ride in attempt to do as many as possible. The kids had the "best time EVER" and can't wait to go back. And, to tell you the truth, Mom can't wait either!
