Schlitterbahn waterpark

Galveston now has a Schlitterbahn waterpark, which we have been meaning to try out for some time. We finally got around to it a few weeks ago, and it was worth the trip. Benjamin and Samuel went on all of the rides/slides with us. Benjamin even went down a pretty fast slide all by himself. Woohoo! It rained in the middle of the day for a short time, but stayed in the covered section of the park and waited it out. Next year -- season passes!

Garner State Park

Last month we made the trek across Texas and camped at Garner State Park. It's so popular that you have to make reservations a year in advance, and we found out why. There was so much to do. We hiked, biked, and played in the Frio River, which runs through the park. The river has a nice current, so you can float down it on tubes. We did this twice, and everyone had a great time. We also hiked the trails in the surrounding hills and "discovered" two small caves. Benjamin has been telling us every day since we got back that he wants to go camping again. We're already planning our reservations for next year.
I've posted some pictures of the trip here:
