Mike/Kristi rented a house on the Guadalupe river Thursday thru Sunday so all the girls , dogs, Nick (Kennas boyfriend) and us could spent the weekend together. We left Thursday morning and went to Kingwood. We loaded some of their stuff in our car so that they could take one truck and ride together. We left a head of them and headed to New Braunfels. We had an easy drive and arrived about 1:00 pm. The house was located in Sattler by the 4th crossing. It was a nice house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It had a nice covered deck overlooking the river and also a fire pit and sitting area right on the river bank. The yard was fully shaded by wonderful Cypress trees. They got there about 20 minutes after we did. Nick was still at work and came in that night. After everything was unloaded , Mike and I went and got some firewood so we could have a fire. Then we all went down to the river and floated in the water. The river was low with not much current. This actually made it perfect to float and stay in front of the house. The water was so cold when you first got in it. Lexi loved swimming in the river, Max not so much and Cooper said nope not getting in. The yard was fenced so the dogs could run loose. For supper we had hamburgers, tater tots and sausage. After supper Mike built a fire, it was still pretty warm so no one was huddled up to it. Friday morning was nice with a good breeze blowing . Kristi cooked a big breakfast which was good. At !0:am everyone but Susan and I went on a float trip down the river. Susan and I went up to Canyon lake , its the lowest level that Ive ever seen it. We stopped at Ace Hardware and picked up a few things. After that we just drove River Road sightseeing. When everyone got back we hit the river again to relax. That night Kristi fixed steak and chicken fajitas. Saturday morning our plans were to go to Gruene around 2 and the eat at the Grist Mill at 5:30. We made it to Gruene and boy howdy it was hot. The girls did some shopping and Mike and I headed to Gruene Hall to do our shopping. There was a good band playing and the beer was cold. The place was packed and it was hot. When all the girls finally made it to us Kenna went to the Grist Mill to see if we could get in earlier. We could, but she found out that they had no air conditioning. After thinking it over we decided to go back to the house and get back in the water and that's what we did. It felt pretty good and was very relaxing. Kristi cooked spaghetti for supper and we had a really nice evening. Sunday morning we all got up, packed up and headed home. It was a really great weekend.
