4th of July

We had a wonderful July 4th holiday! The Provost family drove over to Austin from cajun country and we had a blast... we went for a hike up Mount Bonnell, rented a boat on Lake Travis and drove out to Spicewood in the hill country to swim at Krause Springs. We are really enjoying all that Austin and the hill country has to offer! Here are some pictures...

Hiking Mount Bonnell...


On the boat on Lake Travis. Ironically, the water reminds us of the ocean in Fort Lauderdale... The rocky limestone bottom makes the water a beautiful aqua color.




Swimming at Krause springs. We loved this place! The water was so cold, but it felt so good in the hot Texas sun. Owen swam with some baby turtles, luckily none of them bit him!


Check out Elliott on the rope swing at the Krause springs...
