June 12 Floating the river

I heard  " Poppa help "  several times 

last stretch of float trip 

We made it

We bought some tubes yesterday so we can float the river here. It was cheaper to buy tubes in San Marcos than renting tubes at the resort. The girls had never floated on a river. We could walk a trail to the far end of the park and then it was about a 20 minute float back. This was perfect for the kids.  Susan,Ashley and Sammi shared a double float. Mackenna and I had singles. I set the off first so I could follow behind them. Didn't last too long as I passed Kenna when she got against a bank. She kept getting stuck in places but we all made. On the second float Kenna went with Nana and Ashley went by herself. She did really well until the last bit when a spider fell in the tube with her. It was touch and go for a while on who was going to stay in the tube. This is really a great place for kids to learn to float. There is a nice current but the river is shallow and they could stand up if needed. After lunch Sammi went down for a nap so the big girls and I went back to the river to play. When we came back the evening showers started again. Lots of lighting and thunder. No evening float trips.We decided to go out to eat again due to the weather. Hope for better weather tomorrow.
