Guadalupe Tubing

During quarantine, all you want is to get out and be free. So the boys decided to go on a little break to Guadalupe State Park. Saturday, we got to Guadalupe and I got some serious flashbacks. 2 years before, our scout troop decided to do a 50-mile canoe trip there. Unfortunately, the water was low, the spiders were many, the sun was intense, and the lost was real. It wasn't my best summer camp.

We walked down to the riverbed, found a place to settle, and decided it was a little cold to go swimming first. So we inflated our tubes and ate lunch. After a meal, it had warmed up and we hiked with our tubes to a spot to tube back to our settlement. The tubing wasn't eventful, but it was relaxing. It was just what we needed after all this COVID business.

 After the tube run, we skipped rocks, found weird creatures, then went home. It was a nice getaway.

Caterpillar!

We also found a tadpole!

(As of May 6th) There are about 3,850,000 cases worldwide, with over 1,250,000 cases in the U.S.

Covid-19 has unfortunately killed over 250,000 people. Let's hope as we try to reopen our economy, we won't see another rise in cases. Stay home and stay safe.
