Garner State Park

In this hot Texan season of Summer, we made our way up to Garner State Park.
Garner is one of our favorite places to go because it is centered around the Frio River, which is a very clear river. Despite it being two hours away, we love to drive up, just so we can tube, swim, and dive all day long.
We started our fun with setting up at the base of the river, then after everything was set, we inflated our tubes and trekked for a bit upstream. After finding a good launch point we jumped in our tubes and started floatin'. Despite the walk up lasting about 10 minutes, we managed to stay on the river for about an hour-and-a-half. 
Little rapids!
All together!
Funny tube we saw

We swam our way to our canopy and got ready for lunch, we grilled up some burgers. They were definitely successful. 
That's a big burger

After lunch, we swam around a little bit, explored the dam nearby, and skipped some rocks, and we were pretty tired so we headed home.
That's not the only adventure we had this week, because this week I also rode my bike a fair amount.
Nearby is a 16-mile trail named the Salado Creek Greenway trail, and my Dad and I have wanted to do it for a very long time, so we got up early and successfully rode a 26-mile bike path. We were of course exhausted.
Here's what we did

Since we've been trying to beat the sun and ride early before the heat comes.

Also this week I finally put together a piano-trombone duet with myself I've been practicing for some time. Here it is if you want to listen to it. Largo.Mp4
And that does it for this week. Next week I'll be back with a post on Alex's Birthday.
