Weekend in Wimberly, TX

Shawn's mom has been wanting to book a family trip for a while now, but with Em's soccer we just weren't able to commit to specific dates.  Once she signed with her new team and we found out she would have a couple of weeks off in July, KK took advantage and booked a house in Wimberly for a long weekend.  The house was right on the Blanco river.  

We left around lunch time on Thursday afternoon and arrived by dinner time.  KK had made lasagna for dinner, so after eating, we were able to hang out on the porch and actually enjoy some of the cooler weather.  The house had a huge yard and we were able to see quite a few deer.

On Friday, we slept in a bit and had a relaxing morning before going out to lunch and then driving about an hour so we could float the Comal river.  We all had a good time and the water was very refreshing.  When we got back to the house, Shawn cooked dinner and then we watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Saturday morning was another relaxing morning.  After sleeping in, we headed to downtown Wimberly to walk around some of the shops and have lunch.  When we got back we went to the Blanco river across the street and hung out.  The kids enjoyed kayaking the river!

Shawn took Evan fishing.  They caught several fish.

We saw lots of deer on the property.  This night there was a whole deer family that came out.  

And here are a bunch of turkeys that showed up 1 day.  It was so fun to see all the wildlife.

That night after dinner, Stephanie had planned some "fair games."  It was kids vs. adults.  The kids had the absolute best time and we were all very competitive.  In the end, the kids very narrowly were the winners.

Sunday morning we packed up and headed home, but not before making a stop to pick up some kolaches in West.
