Rollin on the River

My friends and I just celebrated our annual river trip extravaganza. This trip was a little more subdued than the past. Yes, Bryan showed a little too much, Kelly got hurt, ate at the Gristmill but nothing really crazy happened. I guess that is a good thing. The one big thing that we did not get to do this year was to listen to some really awesome Texas country music underneath the big Texas sky. Sure we saw Mickey and the Motorcars and Reckless Kelly but we missed out on hearing the Tyler Hatch Band. We even all had our THB t-shirts ready to rock. Hopefully next year we will get to catch their show. (Fellow bloggers - if you have not heard of THB, get on You Tube and check them out!)



Being the foodies that we are, we found this wonderful hole-in-the-wall breakfast place in little Mexico in Austin. It is great and cheap! Fresh salsa too! I would definately recommend hiding all of your valubles in the car prior to going in the restaurant though.



Guess who got hurt? Ashley and Lacy and......My man. AGAIN. There was no rope swing involved. Just a super low river and some moss covered rocks. The dang rocks took out Lacy, Ashley and Kelly. We were literally 20 feet from getting out of the river and heading home for the day when it happened. Ashley fell out of her toob going over a waterfall and got all banged up. Then Kelly fell trying to get out of his toob to walk up the bank. When I saw fall, he fell hard and really messed up his ankle and knee. Did we bring our first aid kit? no. We did have Dr. Bryan and Dr. Justin though. That is really all you need when you are hurt. They made the infamous splint last year out of tape and plastic forks. This year, they bagged up some ice and seran wrapped Kelly's ankle. It made him feel much better! Thanks Docs. Please send the bill to our insurance.


Twin elbows. This was the least of their scratchs and bruises. I was not able to show were the other boo boos were b/c this is totally a PG blog.

Kelly was able to play in the 1st Annual River Trip Extravanganza Washer Tournament. He had to play Ashley in the finals and took her out. He is now the washer PIMP.

One of the many fishies that Kelly caught. This was the only catfish though. We put it in the cooler to take back to Waco but some creature made ate it overnight. Hope it was tasty!
I promise Kelly's ankle really did hurt. These activities just really didn't aggravate his ankle.

We are all waiting for Reckless Kelly to perform. Give us a little Wicked Twisted Road please!



We had a great trip. A little too short for me though. I guess when you are at the river, time just rolls on by. Next year, I am bringing a first aid kit, crutches, a sling and hopefully nurse Heather!
