An Enchanted Adventure

This week was the first week where summer actually felt like summer. Online school has ended, and coronavirus is dying down, so we decided to have some fun.

On Monday we had to pick up all the materials that we had abandoned at our school. It was a way for the teachers to say an odd goodbye as we're shipped off to high school.

That should say 8th graders. Those 6th graders aren't going anywhere.

Wednesday was a surprise expedition because my parents took the family on a quick tubing trip on the Guadalupe. Or so we thought. We were prepared for a relaxing hour-and-a-half float on the river, but it ended up being five hours. Don't get me wrong, it was fun all the way through, but we were not prepared for such a long time on the river. We'll definitely tube that passage again. It was filled with rapids and rope swings.

Ready to float!

Friday was the highlight of the week, we "took a day off" and traversed to Enchanted Rock. The family had been there before, but we only did the Summit Trail. This time we did the Loop Trail and the Summit Trail, but only Dad and I did the Summit trail. It was a fun getaway, but unfortunately motion-sickness caught up to me on the way back.

This is what our adventure looked like

Don't those rocks look like they could just slide off?

That was a tough climb

Such beautiful views

What a great place to be!

My dad thinks this is hilarious

That's not all, our parents surprised us with an end-of-the-year party, which was full of bubbles and balloons...water balloons. At the end of the water balloon fight, we were all soaking wet, so we dried off and made some backyard s' mores.

Here's a slo-mo I caught of some lightning

It was a fun week and I'm ready for s' more.
