Friday December 26, 2015 Kyle, TX

This morning was the warmest one so far. We had our coffee and got dressed for the days activities.

Brandon wanted to show off some of his skills at the skate board park and Curtis wanted to take a short paddle on the San Marcos River in the kayak.  We did both.

Curtis and I launched the kayak and paddled upstream for a way.  It did sprinkle on us a little as we, mostly Curtis, paddled.  We saw two other groups of paddlers and one fisherman.  We saw a few turtles and at one point a large white Heron took flight across the river in front of us.  On the way back down stream a large hawk of some kind swooped across in front of us.  It grabbed a mouse and flew back into the trees.

Back at the launch point I managed to get out of the kayak without mishap.  While Curtis walked and got the truck, I watched some other kayakers going through a couple of shoots below our launch point.

Gerri, Dana, Vanessa and Brandon went to the skate board park and watched Brandon practice his moves.  The move depicted is a drop in. He practiced several times before he was able to do it.


The rest of the family got home before us.  We relaxed for awhile while the kids played outside.  At about 3 we headed out to the Sea World Park in San Antonio.

We got there in time to see a dolphin show.  Gerri and Curtis went on a couple of the large roller coasters.  After dark the park was really lit up with the Christmas theme.  A few snack bars, another ride and some play time for the kids brought us to closing time.

We stopped at a Cane's Restaurant on the way home and had chicken fingers.  They were good and by the way the only thing on the menu.

We got home at about 11 and the kids went straight to bed.  The adults weren't far behind.
