For Spring Break we decided to camp for the first half and rent a beach house for the second half. We started at Guadalupe River State Park. We brought a friend of Austin’s, Sam, with us. The boys had a great time exploring along the cliffs and skipping rocks in the river. They even tried to swim, but the water was too cold to stay in long.

On Monday, we went ziplining outside Wimberly, TX. It was great fun, and not nearly as scary as I expected.
After ziplining, we headed to one of our favorite state parks, Enchanted Rock. We checked on our geocache while the boys hiked around, played badmitten with other teenagers at the campground, and attempted to temporarily redirect the course of the stream which flowed nearby. The area around the park has been experiencing a draught, and it was dryer than I had ever seen it. Most of the grass in the campground was a crispy brown. The only flowers blooming were cacti.

The last three nights were spent at a beach house in Corpus Christi. On Thursday, Mike, Sam and Austin went windsurfing at Bird Island Basin (in wetsuits!) while Brandon and I played at the beach. Friday we visited the Texas State Aquarium in the morning and then rented Boogie Boards for an afternoon playing in the surf.
Saturday we drove home, grateful for our own beds and clean clothes.
