Pedernales Falls

Last Wednesday the kids and I headed out to go to Blanco State Park. We decided to take the scenic route so we followed the Texas Hills Trail. This led us up and down the hills and an awful lot of curves! Eventually we found ourselves in the small town of Dripping Springs. It wasn't where we were headed but I just loved the name of the town so I decided to stop at the visitors center. We met a lovely lady who was able to tell us everything about the town, including a state park nearby that she thought the kids would enjoy. So off we went to find Pedernales Falls. After a little hike from the parking lot we arrived at the river. We decided to stay in the area of shallow water...the kids could play easily in the river and I wouldn't have to carry Katie any farther down the trail! It ended up being a great spot...the place was covered with lizards and tons of shells for Katie! There was not another person in sight for the afternoon as we lazed in the sun, played in the water and caught lizards!
