The Proof Is In The Frio {Part 2}

It is so so hard to recap this trip. How do you possibly get every single hilarious and memorable moment in two blog posts? It's just not possible ya'll! (for you my Texas loves). Here are some snippets and highlights of our time!

You know you have one of the best trips with some of your closest friends when....

+this is how you spend your days:
lounging in the clear water of the Frio River, singing, dancing, people watching, playing games, and laughing until you cry

+the animal lover in you comes out when you get to bond, ride, pet, and feed donkeys and horses before the sun goes down and it makes your heart oh so happy! 

 

 +this guy sings "I Can Show You The Worlllllldddd!" on video and marshmallows are involved
 

+You go half blind in one eye

Note to self:  DO NOT sleep in your contacts multiple nights if you never have before and want to keep your vision. Update: vision has returned but that doesn't mean I'm still not nicknamed the "pirate" of the trip

+Your only concern is what coverup + bikini you should wear and if we are stocked up on enough food + beer

 

+You have an endless amount of epic one-liners (mainly from Erica's awesome bf Kurt!) that were said that everyone says they will write them down to remember so we can blog about them, but end up not remembering a single one.

Well, except...

"TANIA SHANE!"-Kurt

"Help me, I'm blind" and everything else with "help me" (thank you Bridesmaids) in front of it

+You play dizzy bat and have strangers participate in on the fun (oh man, so so funny!)

+You have matching shirts, cups (thank you Erica-you are the greatest), and headbands just for the occasion

 

{headbands are from the lovely Etsy shop: TheLittleCanaryShop-go check them out!!}

+You attend your first "Texas county" concert, Cory Morrow, and now want to download all of his songs

 +You don't have to do your own hair or makeup everyday because your other half (cc: Steph) does it for you. hey, when in texas you get poofed. ;)

+You meet the sweetest Aunt on the planet and miss her dearly already.

Aunt Frances...love her heart.

+Your phone is at it's max filled with dancing videos (including slow dancing to oasis wonderwall, singing barbie girl daily, and busting out the macarena at random times)

+The sunsets look like this

+You're a pescatarian but try Beau's quail (which is a bird, for those wondering) for the first time at dinner on the last night and actually kind of like it

+Your camera only has 60 pictures on it versus 593

 This trip was different than others. My cell phone barely got any service for 3 days and since we were around the river most days, we really didn't focus on taking pictures or being on any social media. Instead, we had the time of our lives enjoying each others company. Sometimes a break is needed and let me tell you, it was SO nice to just soak it all in and enjoy every single moment together.

+You get extra sappy and tell each of them how much you miss them, cherish their friendship, and pray it's sooner rather than later that you get to see them again...... 

No, seriously, I'm so incredibly thankful for the friendships I've made with these people. They mean the world to me and I am literally counting down the days until our next extravaganza! I had the most amazing time on this trip and feel so blessed. Thank you everyone for making this one of the most memorable trips ever.


Steph, Beau (BBFT/Tubby), Erica, Kurt, Shay, Drew, Brian, Ashley, Todd and Aunt Frances....

I LOVE YOU ALL! THANK YOU!

Oakley girl...

You are everything your momma told me you were and MORE. I really enjoyed our late night snuggles together and just finally getting to hug the crap out of you. I miss you and your sloppy kisses already! Give your momma a hard time for me, would ya? ;)

Take me back!
