summer 2010 swim holes
the barton creek greenbelt has been flowing nicely. we finally made the effort to go for a dip. this is the trail walking from my mom's house down to the creek.
he is at that age where he is loud, repetetive, likes to throw/smash/splash etc. he managed to completely ignore his mothers repeated commands to stop throwing the log around as it was splashing us all.
we enjoyed dinner with friends at mom's house. kat turned the camera on me, or on the wine glasses next to me.
took the family for a fun trip to wimberley, not a work trip. we LOVED the leaning pear, a fancy sandwich place. had a fantastic salad of locally grown arugula, goat cheese, peaches, spiced pecans and jicama. really fresh and good flavor arrangement.
our neighbor in wimberley is finishing construction of his house and moving in. was nice enough to provide a fence the full length of the property.
we tried to find the elusive jacob's well, and failed. we went to the blue hole but it was going to cost $23 to get in and we really only had an hour to spend swimming. so we just drove down river rd, parked the car and jumped in the blanco. we plan to return soon and spend the whole day at the blue hole
for the amount of time and what we needed, the river was just perfect.
be careful not to smile too much when you let go, that big knot at the end of the rope just might catch a tooth and then you'll have a big gap when you smile. he went home with one less front tooth, just a little bit of blood but no tears.
so far... we have had an unusually mild summer. not too hot and no drought. evening and morning temps have been really nice. pics below are from a nice sunset we experienced from our master balcony.
