Saturday At Ralph's House on Lake Travis in Austin
















On Saturday we went to Ralph and Kim's house in Lago Vista and spent the day at the lake on his boat. Ralph lives close enough to the lake that you can walk to the water...nice! The view from his back deck overlooks Lake Travis and you can see Matthew McConahey's gigantic house across the lake. Ralph bought life vests for the boys so they could go on the boat and float around in the water, then later he bought everyone ice cream when the ice cream truck came around. The boys had a blast, and Luke got to drive the boat by himself. Luke was a natural on the boat, he sat on the front section with his feet propped up, the wind blowing in his hair telling ralph to drive faster. Grant sat with me behind the windshield clinging to my legs with both hands telling Ralph to slow down. Hilarious. Later Ralph's son Robbie came by and treated us to a gourmet pizza he made at the house. It was much fun, and we got home very late at night. Next weekend I think that we are going to Sea World for Luke's 7th birthday. Probably spend most of our time in the water park sections...and of course a visit to the Budweiser tent for free samples!
