The Fish Fry

This past weekend one of our friends had a fish fry. He lives right on the river and his home is beautiful! It was so relaxing that I forgot to really take pictures. But here are a few that I did remember to take.

My Texas brother, Brad. He's pretty much family.
I made the cake.
State-tri-otic a little?
A cake with the Texas flag in the shape of Texas.
Love it.

Some folks kayaking on the river.
Yes, I did kayak on the river, but I did not get a picture of it.
I saw a snake while out there. Just a little one.

Again, this is all in my friend's backyard.

Cory headed to the river!

What a wonderful, relaxing afternoon. I'm just sad I didn't take more pictures!

Kayak Attack

Earlier this week Russ and I took an afternoon to kayak 5 miles down the San Marcos River- From Sewell Park to Old Bastrop Highway. I love this river! I love the serenity of being on this river. I can't wait to do it again! Here are the highlights:

• I saw a snake. First one I've seen on the river. I was sort of scared, but it was just sunbathing and didn't really move. So I didn't freak out... to bad.
• Russ only tipped once. But it was a legit tip- he was going about 1,000 mph around a bend in the river and smacked into the embankment. It was a understandable flip. (PS: I have yet to flip my kayak on the river...)
• Mostly it was just a nice peaceful ride with my sweetheart.

Now here are the pictures (Just to satisfy C's policy of not reading any blogpost unless there's pictures involved):

And there we go!

This is what the river looks like- so relaxing
