Frio 2008

I could use a break from working so I guess I will post some pics from our recent vacation to the Frio River. Most people have NO clue what the Frio is or where the heck it is. It is about 1 1/2 hrs from San Antonio and we go to a placed called CONCAN. YES!! CONCAN, not to be confused with Cancun. People ALWAYS say that...sheez! Anyways, so I have been going to the Frio River since I was 2yrs old. We stayed at Garner State Park and actually "camped" back in the day. It didn't last long though because my mom needed the A/C, potty and kitchen! LOL So as I got older my mom's side of the family started planning a trip there every year and we all stayed together in a big house. We always had a great time but as the "kids" got older they started having their own kids we kind of just stopped going. So, after Brian and I got married I was convinced to start going again every year and that is what we have done!!!



Its one of my ALL time favorite places to be! WE had an absolute blast this year and can't wait to go again!






Every year we take my niece and nephew, Shayne and Maddie and we always have SO much fun! This year we decided to stay longer and we were there for 5 nights! My parents came on Saturday and hung out with us all day and then my sister, Tammy came up Saturday night and stayed until early Tuesday morning. The river was down this year but we made the best of it. We did get to go tubing, which was a blast, and basically all we did was swim, relax, drink and enjoy not being able to use our cell phones or Internet!! It was FABULOUS!





The kids had a great time as always. I hope they have great memories of the Frio River like I have always had. Our hope is to continue to go when we have our own kids to pass on this love that I for that place. Its all about family, friends, fun, relaxing, drinking beer, music and floating the river. Its a nice trip away from reality. Frio..we will miss you until next year!! :o)

This is us dancing at the Neal's Lodge Dance Floor on Saturday night in the RAIN! HA!



Tam and the kids!



This is what happens when Shayne is mean to Maddie and she ends up with some SERIOUSLY SWEET revenge! Payback is a MOTHER SHAYNE!! LOL (Man, we laughed so hard about this for a long time! She got him SOO good!!)



Rainy day at the river! If you look closely you can see Madison WAY down there by the river.
