new braunfels with the girls father's day

went to NB for a few days--floated the COMAL with the girls, my mom and gweemie

i love this spot on the guadelupe. It is the river crossing at Gruene. Most people end their trip here. if you don't have alot of time to commit to a tubing excursion, this is great place to chill for a few hours.

i put my lawn chair and cooler as close to the rapids as i can get--usually under the shade of one of the cypress trees and CHILL. it is never ending entertainment watching people finish up their rafting or tubing adventure. Good company is a MUST!

one time, after a few beers, i thought it would be fun to "do" this set of rapids without a au natural (without a float, tube or raft).

made it between the first set of rocks without much harm, them i took one to the ass, now i started to get nervous, put my hands down a little there goes the elbow--somehow got turned sideways and began to "roll" forcefully down the 'stair-like' falls. when i got the calm water, it took a few minutes to remember how to breathe again. both elbow, knees, hands, butt cheeks--ALL DAMAGED--most damaged--my ego!
