Frio River Hundl Family Trip 2023

Another Hundl Family summer Frio River trip is in the books and it did not disappoint! All 24 of us stayed in the same rental house for the third year in a row and even added an extra night. Our family and The Arguijo’s missed Memaw’s birthday and Father’s Day, so we gave them their gifts when we first got to the house…

Their very own personalized 40 oz. Stanley tumblers!!

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and did a little night swimming….

…and back porch hanging our first night !

Breakfast time for the kids, while most of the parents are still sleeping, lolโ€“ thanks to the AMAZING early rising “breakfast crew” (aka AJ, Justin, and Mike)

These cuties lived in the pool when we were at the house…

And these cuties played lots and lots of ping pong!

We finally made it down to the river access in the neighborhood after lunch….

Love this little surfer boy looking stud

Brayden is such a trooper and awesome teenager to want to hang with us old folks and little kids!

Never too old to sun tan in the river!

Sister shots on the river are a must!

This brand new teenager is such a trooper too!

But David, hands down, is the biggest trooper of all! Love that he gets to hang with us by the river!

River life is the BEST lifeโ€“โ€“ even when it’s 100 degrees

The pool water was actually cooler than the Frio River, lol.

Uncle Adam gets the most air!

What’s funner than a giant Connect Four?!?

Cool little, yet very unnecessary, Amazon find, lol…

S’more timeโ€“โ€“ yay!!!

Annual couples washer tournament time too!

Jodie hit the “Cycle” (all 3 washers in a different hole), so the Jarmon’s had to take a shot!

Then the Jarmon’s went on to take the championship trophy from the 2 time reigning champs (Adam and I)…

They’re such liars, I know they were thinking about this trophy all year long, lol

Bro shake…

This was my view every morning while I sipped my coffeeโ€“โ€“ more power to them! One of these years I’ll hopefully join them…

After breakfast we all set out to float the river, but the parking lot and line to the bus was insanely packed. Us and the Arguijo’s wussed out while everyone else braved the chaos, which turned out to be not nearly as bad as we thought. Oh wellโ€“โ€“ Dimmick’s and Arguijo’s ended up at the candy shop…

Then we just went back to the house to swim. It was a very low key and chill day!

Love my Sissy and how we have the same taste!

Who wore it better, lol?

The “little” boys with Papa Joe!

Memaw and Papa Joe with 10 out of 12 grandkids! Connor and Tyler weren’t there yet

Twinning is winning!

Cutest couple!

The bebes

Made it to the House Pasture to see Kevin Fowler on Saturday night! Love, love, love this family of mine!

Playing some football before the concert began…

I know I’m biased, but I think my sisters are the most beautiful!

And my kids and hubby are the CUTEST ever!!!

And so are my parents!

It was a scorcher of a Saturday night and by the time Kevin Fowler FINALLY took the stage, there was only a few of us left standing…

Ellis’ first concert ever!

Not bad for an old man!

Sunday the river was WAY less crowded, so the Arguijo’s and Dimmick’s attempted the Hippy Hollow float everyone else did the day before!

And we’re off….

The water was of course low, so we had to walk about half of the float, but man was it gorgeous! I just LOVE this river!

Cliff jumping time! Love my fearless kiddos!

Carolina was killing it with her backflips…

Swim all day and play all night…

Our last full day we attempted to go into Garner State Park, but unfortunately, they were all sold out of day passes until 3pm. We decided to hang out at Neals to bide the time until we could get into Garner. I’d say the kids had a blast…

Daddy told them they couldn’t jump off the “big” rock, but you see how well that went over with our crazies, lol…

I hope and pray Adam and I are doing this exact same thing with our family at 76 and 77!

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

I wish there was a contraption that could safely put him in the water with the rest of us, I know he was burning up. Not that the water was super cool or anything, lol, but that Texas heat is no joke!

Finally made it into Garner to climb Old Baldyโ€“โ€“ just in time for the hottest part of the day!

These two were on the struggle bus, lol…

We made it to the top!

We remembered to bring paint this year to tag our rocks before adding them to the pile!

Gangs all here! Just missing poor Brayden, who got dehydrated at the beginning of the climb.

Taking a little rest in the shade of the tree before heading back down!

Totally looks like we’re falling over the ledge, doesn’t it, lol??

All 5 of us finally made it up Old Baldy!

BEST way to cool off is in the “Icebox Cave”

Time to rest…

…and cool off one last time in the river!

Memaw and Jeanne’s birthday were the perfect excuse for more desserts, lol!

Then we finally played LRC!!

Winner, winner chicken dinner!

Did a little stargazing by the river and my pics didn’t do them justice, but these sounds of summer are my absolute fav…

Bye bye Frio! You always leave us with the fullest heart and we cannot wait to see you again next summer ๐Ÿ’›
