Guadalupe River State Park

Today has been another great day of family fun!  We went hiking through the Guadalupe State Park just miles down from where we live.  We listened to a CD of Tim Hawkins on our way there.
When we got there we packed our water and snacks and off we went.

We hiked a 3 mile hike through some rough terrain, but some beautiful trails.  We hiked a little off of the trail to see the Guadalupe River and we could hear it moving down stream.  Such a beautiful time soaking in G-d's creation all around us.  We saw some beautiful yellow butterflies and heard lot's of birds.  We on occasion had a nice breeze.  Such a gorgeous day to be outside.

Last night was a fun family night full of laughter.  We attended a comedy show for the whole family.  The kids heard about him at school and it just so happened that he was doing a show in San Antonio.  Now, we purchased tickets back in November for his show in January and gave the tickets to our kids as part of their Christmas.  They were so excited and counted down the days for the event.  Last night was the big night.  They wanted to be the first ones in line for a front row seat to see someone they had only seen on youtube and have belly laughed at for months leading up to this night.  The videos had served as hours of entertainment for them at times.  So, we decided we would get to our destination at 4:30.  The doors opened at 6:00 and the show started at 7:00.  We stopped and purchased our "hot and ready" from Little Caesars pizza and had our sodas and water on ice for our tailgate party.  Well, when we arrived there was a line already beginning to form...so much for the tailgating!  We carried our box of pizza and our soda's to the line and set up camp there.  The family's in front of us had arrived from Bandera at 2:00 and the family behind them came all the way from Corpus Christi.  We were glad we got there at 4:30 and didn't wait till later to arrive.  The line continued to grow at a rapid pace.  We had a friend from school show up right after we did, that worked out great to be able to visit with her.  We were meeting another family that showed up in time to join us at our place in line, which was also a blessing.  We didn't want the people behind us to get upset with folks "cutting" in line.  So thankful it worked out for everyones timing.

Doors opened and 6:00 got our upfront and personal seating and the kids are so excited that the time is finally here!  Tim Hawkins came out and the crowd went wild.  He sang a few songs that he had rearranged words for to get us warmed up and the belly laughter escalated from there!  So amazingly talented.  We visited the merchandise table before the show, good thing we did, all of his items were going so fast after the show.  We purchased the "value pack"; 3 DVDs and 2 CD set.  The kids couldn't wait to get home to watch the DVD, so we plugged it in on our way home.
If you have never heard of Tim Hawkins please search for him on youtube.  So worth the search!
