Exploring the Medina River

On one of our morning walks, Nicole had mentioned that they had tubed the Medina River with her husband Matt Winmill's family.  She said that they all really enjoyed it because it was not as busy as some of the other rivers, and it had great trees all along that shaded the river.  We decided to explore it on Saturday, August 6th.  We drove around trying to figure out where to go.  We found a park a little out of the town of Bandera where people were hanging out in the river and setting up picnics. We decided to pick a spot there and set up our camp chairs.  We ate a lunch and played in the river.

We had tubes that we had purchased from Costco.  We didn't go down the river.  We just hung out playing on the tubes in the river and enjoying the refreshing water.

The older kids were able to go off a rope swing a few times and Asher enjoyed picking up rocks and stacking them in Matt's hands.
