The Frio River part 3

If I were to write about my week, it would be an entirely too long post. I'm breaking this vacation down into a few posts.

Day 3
Another early morning! While almost everyone was still sleeping, Ivy and I took a little walk. We immediately down a couple of fawns!


She wanted a picture with this fawn behind her. 

"Let's go!"

Once she and I returned to the cabin, we decided to go to Garner State Park while everyone was still asleep. 




Adding to my collection!

We were going to try to actually hike but we couldn't find parking near any trails, it was scorching hot even at 9AM, and Ivy would not be a fun hiking companion.

Once we returned to the cabin, we ate an early lunch and headed out to a rental place to TUBE DOWN THE FRIO!!



Some areas of the river were low so we had to wade but there were deeper parts too so we did float. The water was cool and consistently this pretty green color. 



During one point of the river in which we were wading, all those round rocks kept slipping underfoot and made it difficult to walk. Ryan's feet and legs were sore for a few days. I actually fell backwards twice and ended up with a bruise on my lower back. 


Her form of going with the flow.


Bobbing along when she couldn't touch the bottom.


This face says it all!! She was squealing with excitement the entire time. 

After tubing, we went back to the cabin to freshen up. We decided that a few of us would go in search of desserts. We wanted PIE. Concan Pies pies to be exact. But they were closed. You have to get there early!

While we were gone, the kiddos did the nature scavenger hunt I made for them. 


We ended up picking up desserts from Neal's.

"Squeaky Styrofoam is Satan's Soundtrack!!"

Once we got back and things quieted down, Cousin L started putting out deer corn. This is the result...



This was one of the best days!
