We decided to go to Guadalupe State Park a second time this week, and it was pretty fun until things took an unexpected turn.
The introduction to this post sounds like foreshadowing for a Stephen King novel, but things weren't that bad. On Friday we arrived at Guadalupe with the whole family to tube once again. The nights before we had some really bad thunderstorms, so the river was higher than normal. We set up camp next to the riverbed and ate before we walked upstream to find a good place to launch. The tube down the river took about 15 minutes and we were heading back to our canopy when we noticed our stuff was partially submerged. Luckily some of the "river neighbors" moved our stuff on our chairs before they floated away. Our family, and pretty much all the families moved their camps further back from the river. As we were packing up the river was flooding higher and higher. We stayed in the water looking at frogs and spiders until we saw massive trees being carried down the quickly moving river. So that was a fun experience.

Now about the storms before the flooding, they were pretty intense storms, and I got some pictures of them.

Since then I've gotten a haircut because my Mom hated how my hair looked.
We got this new game sling puck. It's a new competitive sport in the family. We'll see if it tears our family apart.
