Enjoying Wimberley's Gem

We took the kids to the Blue Hole in Wimberley again. When everyone was out here for the reunion I bought 10 punch passes to get in at a cheaper rate and we have some left. Supposedly Tropical Storm Don was supposed to come our way and give us 30% chance of rain, unfortunately no rain. So it was a good 98 degrees out. Luckily Blue Hole is really shaded by all the beautiful trees there. Was lucky to capture this good shot of James, he's getting good on this tree rope swing.

I forgot Madeline's goggles (she hates getting her nose and eyes wet) but she still took a turn on the rope swing.

And she enjoyed it - wet face and all!

On the last day of our reunion when we went tubing with Bryce and Brenda's family our kids raft popped with a pretty big hole. We have had it for a couple years so it got a lot of use. To our surprise when we returned home from our Iowa roadtrip we had a package on our front door. Bryce had sent the kids a new raft, and this one came with oars. So sweet of him. The kids were eager to try it out today at the Blue Hole.

It was a nice afternoon relaxing in Wimberley.

Stephen has always wanted to stop along side the road on our drive to and from Wimberley. It's only 25 minutes from our home but out in the beautiful hill country. That is someone's ranch behind them.

Blue Hole

We took a break from cleaning the house today and headed out to Wimberley (a hill country town about 25 minutes West of us) to check out the Blue Hole. It's a spring fed swimming hole and we've heard lots of Central Texans rave about it being one of their favorite childhood summer memory spots. And it is a beautiful spot! Can't believe we haven't been here yet! We wanted to see if it would be a good spot to bring the family next week for the reunion. They had two tree rope swings and the kids just had a ball swinging on them and falling into the refreshing, cool water below!

 The cypress trees that line this swimming hole are just so pretty!
