Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on the River

One of the perks of living in Boerne is having the Guadalupe River near by, or in our case less than 1/4 of a mile a way running through our neighborhood! There also happens to be a tube/canoe/kayak rental business about a 1/2 mile away, too.

As you might know, we pretty much had zero rain last year and the river was pretty still. I mean, we could put a tube in and it wouldn't float anywhere. Well, so far 2012 has brought us enough rain to fill up the river for us enough to take a little canoe trip.

We put on our river gear and drove to the rental business down the road. They hooked us up with a pretty red canoe, put us in the water, and off we went on a little 4 mile adventure down the beautiful Guadalupe.

The river. Isn't God's beauty and design amazing?

And the journey begins

 I look like I know what I'm doing, but I have no clue.

 Thanks to YouTube I now know how to canoe/kayak correctly

 I could look at this ALL day. I can't wait until it's warm enough to swim and tube.

 About half way through our float we stopped to take pics. I told Travis our trip would be even more amazing if we saw deer swim across the river.

 If you look closely, you'll see a small waterfall in the back. I was scared of it. First time canoer-what can I say?

 Do you see what I see? Deer! 6 beautiful Axis deer.

 Swimming across the river while we have the camera out.

 Coincidence? I don't think so...

 What a beautiful day for a Sunday afternoon date.

Do you like canoeing/kayaking?  We would love to have YOU join us on our next river adventure...
