Frio River Trip

We'd originally planned to spend a whole week on the Frio River but changed those plans to a weekend when J broke his arm and Hots was suddenly unable to get away from work.

I was extremely disappointed but it did work out and turned out to be just what we needed.  (Also, Hots immediately planned a week-long Colorado trip for the end of August which helped.)

Of course the guys broke out their fly rods right away.

We spent most of our time there in the water and even had an adventure the first evening when we checked out a new spot that was probably 12-15 feet deep throughout and required entry at a dam and a very long swim to the rope swing and springs that fed the pool.

The boys did great and swam the entire way there and back by themselves.  Again, no floaties-Eek!
I'd have been a nervous wreck had the water not been crystal clear with no current; no way to lose sight of anyone.

They loved the rope swing and everyone was worn out after our swim back.

SK had fun wading and catching critters at the other swimming hole.

More fishing!  J, Hots, L

SK enjoyed bobbing in the water and singing a song.
