A day at the river

Yesterday, Sunday, I spent the day in Austin Texas, and New Braunfels. It all started with a cooler of beer, the hot sun and a good idea. After driving only an hour, I ended up at a little river called the Guadelupe. Got three tubes, one for me, one for Blake, and one for Blue, the cooler that holds the goodness that is ice cold beer on a hot Texas day. Despite the near 100 degree temp outside, the water was just about ice cold, but feelin real nice. After floating for about 100 yards or so, we get pulled over by some cops who are standing in water checking ID's for underagers. Luckily, we were not any of the sort. So, we keep floating and enjoying the day and the beer. Suddenly, along comes a rapid up ahead, a drop off of perhaps 1 1/2 feet. The only thought, save Blue. As the rapids approach, tensions are getting high, we each take a steady hold of her, then BAM! Off the tube I go, but alas, our goal of saving Blue and her contents was a success. In celebration, beer. This went on for about 4 hours. Probably the best 4 hours ever.
