Brrr...Barton Springs

This famous Austin landmark is 68 degrees year round so, with this 100+ degree weather we figured we'd survive the cold temps. However, as we dipped our toes in it was still a shock to the system. I am always so surprised by how many people are swimming in the springs. Today was no exception. There were TONS of people swimming!!!! I guess it must feel refreshing (once you get used to it anyway.)Little Miss A and Mr. D loved sticking their feet in when they walked down the ramp...going in at their own pace was they way to go.We walked the perimeter of the "pool" and this was one of their favorite spots, but man was it slippery on the rocks! I can't count how many times they almost fell. So we found a safer spot to sit...What a great evening!!! We had so much fun...thanks for the idea Daddy! :)
