A Great Week



We have just finished a great family week. A visit of one daughter and two grandsons gave us an opportunity to do a lot of family activities; we spent time with SEVEN of our 16 grandchildren!

It has been very hot in Texas, and that meant that many of our activities were on or in the water. We went tubing on the Guadalupe River and then another day on the Comal River (the shortest river--at 3.2 miles) in the United States. We spent a day at the great pools at Landa Park and an entire day at the famous Schlitterbahn water park.

In addition, we went to the Alamo and attended the revue put on by the teen agers who had been at musical camp at the San Pedro Playhouse. There was a also a visit to Austin to see more family and then to witness the nightly egress of bats from under the Congress Avenue viaduct. The bats emerge at dusk every evening--all 1.5 million of them--the largest urban bat colony in the United States.

What a fun week!
