Rainclouds (but no lightning) surrounded us in the afternoon but we thought we had enough time to catch just a few more catfish. We didn't. I started to hear the rain hitting the lake and could see it just off in the distance, so we started packing up as fast as we could, but there was no way we were getting out of there before the rain was on top of us. So we told the kids what was about to happen but assured them it was okay. Thankfully, they were real troopers.
Once we got back to the boat ramp, the rain had stopped so Alli enjoyed playing in the muddy beach which was great 'cause there was a long line of trucks and trailers waiting to pull boats out of the lake.
She didn't want to leave when it was time, but it's a good thing we did 'cause it poured on us on the way home.
Daddy promised Alli she would get another chance to go swimming over the weekend which is how we came up with our plans for Monday (another first)...We rented a raft and rafted down the Guadalupe river stopping every chance we could to let the kids swim in the river. It was soooo much fun and we all really enjoyed it. I purposely left the camera at home that day. Didn't want to take the risk of my camera ending up in the river and I wanted to be able to just relax and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about digitally capturing the moment. In other words, don't have any pictures to share from our rafting trip, but trust me, it was picturesque!

Well, at least Dwaine caught some kind of fish! Some fish is better than no fish!
Beautiful pictures of Alli- especially that last one!
Rafting sounds fun! I forgot they had rafts- I always just think of going tubing on the river and knew they kids weren't ready for that.
