Kerville!!

Emerson in the Rapids of The Guadalupe River

(all of these pictures and video were taken with my cell phone....so the quality suffers...the pictures do not do the beauty of this place justice)


We have been so busy and having a great summer so far. Camping at Inks Lake, Swimming lessons, Art camp in Kerrville, building a wood working shop, finishing the shed, updating the kitchen, painting our bedroom, an amazing romantic anniversary get away, baseball camp, summer solstice party and too much more to mention. I just need to get started with updating....
So here we go....

Kerrville, TX.

We had a great time staying with friends in Kerrville. The kids spent a week in Art Camp at The Hill Country Arts Foundation. The week ended with their art work displayed in a gallery setting. Annie's class made cool fairy books and Emer's class explored different media.


The classes were cool but the highlight of the week was spending time with 7 kids and their mama's. Our friend has a beautiful house on the top of a big hill where you could see for miles and miles. There were 3 moms and all the kids played and played and the week went on without a hitch.


Thanks Jennifer for an awesome week!!

Following are two videos of the kids playing in the rapids at a place called Mo Ranch on the Guadalupe River in Hunt, TX. We had so much fun we spent the entire day there.... Oh, and Annie caught 23 fish with her hands while we were there too (minnow sized).

Emerson is the crazy little boy in the yellow life vest. These are videos taken with my phone. I can't figure out how to convert .3g2 video so you can not hear the sound.....but anyway you get the picture.




In the second video Annie has on the blue life vest, this video only shows her jumping in in the middle, but she did eventually go in from the top. Very cool!!!!
