Peace, Love & Guadalupe River Fishing

This morning everyone planned to get started bright and early since I normally wake up about 7:15am but when I didn't get up until 7:40 things got bumped back just a little. While Mommy & Daddy cooked breakfast, Uncle Ben & I took a stroll around the deck in our pj's. After we had filled our belly's with Daddy's delicious breakfast tacos, we headed out to the park at the bottom of Canyon Lake where the lake feeds into the Guadalupe River. While the boys jumped right into another chance to fish, Mommy, Aunt Erin & I decided to hike along the nature trail that was set up. By the time we convinced the boys to head for the lodge, there was time for a quick bite to eat and then it was time to say goodbye to Aunt Erin & Uncle Ben. I was super sad that they had to leave so soon but Mommy said we would see them again soon and I'm holding her to that! When I woke up from my nap, Mommy, Daddy and I decided to take a walk and this time Mommy was the one who wanted to take a dip in Canyon Lake.

Aunt Erin, Mommy & I decided to walk down the nature trail that follows the Guadalupe River right under the Canyon Lake Dam while Daddy & Uncle Ben went fishing. One of the stops on the nature trail was a meditation point, where I spotted Daddy fishing on the river below (can you find him in the background).

Daddy & Uncle Ben fishing. Although this trip turned out unlucky for Daddy, Uncle Ben did manage to catch one little fishy! Guess Daddy will just have to try again later in the week!

Mommy & I headed down the trail (notice the unplanned matching outfits).

Mommy helping me to walk out in the water. This was a big surprise for all of us, since I have been pretty hesitant to get into any body of water lately (the bathtub, the pool, the lake before today).

Mommy giving me "good job" hugs for walking out in the water to her.

Mommy & I smiling post-dip (Mommy went for more of a swim).

I had a great time swimming with Mommy and I'm pretty sure that I've gotten over whatever hesitations that I had about water (although I'm still not 100% sold on showers). Stay tuned for whatever adventures await us tomorrow!

Peace, love & guadalupe river fishing,
