Garner State Park - Part II

We took a lot of photos during our overnight stay at Garner State Park, so it warrants a second post. The second day we took a short, steep hike up one of the other mountains to check out Crystal Cave and the view from the top. It was warm, but not as bad as it will be during the summer months. When we got back down, we checked out the Frio River and rented a paddle boat to cruise around for a while. The water was clear, but judging by the boys' chattering teeth, it was a little cold. Adam and Paul braved one of the rope swings while Nolan and I watched on from the safety of the boat. Adam's first attempt ended with more of a belly-flop face first in the water, but he recovered and gave it another more graceful attempt. Even Nolan decided he'd jump in from the boat, which he quickly regretted, going full panic mode as he clung to the side. But in the end it was all good and they had a fantastic time.

The view from the top...

Uh, I'm not brave enough to go down in there, but if you guys want to... go right ahead. And so they did.
