Lake LBJ Trip-Day 4


The river in front of our house is shallow enough to walk across to the sand bar. Perfect for all the kiddos to swim. I'm standing in the middle of the river taking this pic!

We ate at Storm's Burgers that night. It was yumm-o!

This is about the time of day when the bats came out! they were cool to watch fly around the river bank!

We didn't do too much today (which was awesome). We headed over to the big city of Llano to check things out. The kiddos loved the big red caboose.

We stopped at the cool bridge and waterfall for some pictures. Ethan saw a big gray crane and started shouting "LOOK Mommy--an Ostrich an Ostrich".

After that we just headed home and did some floatin' and swimmin' in the river. It was nice after being out in the hot sun all day.

Lake LBJ Trip-Day 2

We headed down to the lake (or river, whatever) today for a swim. After growing up going to Toledo bend, it's a fantastic change to be able to see your feet when you get into the water. It's borderline too warm of water, but awesome! Down from our house it's shallow enough to wade over to the other side to the sand bar to play on the "beach". Didn't bring the camera out for a swim today, but got some great sunset photos.

We got to our house around 5:00 pm. We went out to eat in Marble Falls at the Blue Bonnet Cafe--they have pie happy hour!! When we got back to the house the sprinklers were on and the babies jumped right in....great start to the week!

They jumped right in fully clothed and started playing.

I was so proud of Chelsea for playing in "spraying" water!
