Rollin on the River

Last weekend we took the annual family trip to New Braunfels. This is such a special trip for Doug, because it is a trip he has been taking since he was born! And Shirley has been going since she was 5, so it's a long standing tradition. Doug has many fond memories that he shares after many years of taking this trip. I love it too because my family always went to Lake McQueeny/Schlitterbahn/Guadalupe with family friends growing up and I think about those times often! It's where I learned to water ski! This year was extra special because it was Caleb's first trip to the river! He did so great and he was exhausted every night after the all day parties! Except for the first night...he was hilarious lying in bed just babbling for at least an hour. Doug and I were cracking up-Doug said he was just telling us about all of the fun he had on his first day there! We ate at all of our favorite spots-Clear Springs, Pat's, Gristmill, and of course Naegelin's for bear claws!

Family photo in front of our room...love the Comal!The water was too cold for C-man this year, but he got in with Doug for a photo op. Next year!!

Uncle Blake, you funny! You make me laugh!Here he is on one of our morning walks. We were usually up by 7, so we would cruise down to the river for a stroll before everyone else would wake up. Yes, he had his Aggie football with him!

Fun in the pool. Wow-I really need a tan!

After a long day of playing, he couldn't make it to dinner-slept through Pat's.
We are very excited about upcoming trips with Caleb! More memories in the making!
