I survived the Frio

Well, I officially survived the 1st annual co-ed frio trip. We had an absolutely amazing time with our friends in the beautiful hill country.

 

The river was a little low, but we were still able to float most of the time. The guys have a tradition of 'posting up' (official guy term) at the waterfall and hanging out there for a couple of hours, so our floats lasted about 5 hours per day (we floated on Friday and Saturday). Since the water level low the usually frigid Frio River was the perfect temperature- not too cold and not too hot. I managed to also leave the weekend with no sunburn! Hurray!!! We were all good about lathering up before and during the float (such responsible adults we are...ha!).

 

We finished each float by grilling burgers over the fire and having smores at night. Mmm Mmm Good.  I was expecting to have late nights and wake up very tired, but since we're not getting any younger we all went to bed by 11. Apparently we can't hang like we used to. I even managed to have quiet time in the mornings and go on some nice runs.  There is just nothing more perfect than being in the God's country and listening to the sounds of nature while running down the country roads. It is a great feeling.  

 

We've already starting planning next years trip and all of us gals have vowed to not have any babies by then so that we can still go! One of our couple friends was not able to come this year due to having a handsome young man, Russell Harwell, in December. We cannot wait for them to join us next year for the trip and Russell can stay with his grandparents!

 

I hope y'all had a wonderful 4th of July holiday with your family and friends!
