A Day On A Swan!

On Sunday, Dan and I decided to go paddle boating on Lady Bird Lake. The only paddle boat that they had left was a swan. The one pictured above is the one we used. It was quite interesting to paddle around in a huge swan! It was extremely hot, but it was fun. We had a great time and got in a great leg workout. Joshua is with my mom this week because he is out of school the last 3 days, so my mom decided to take him and my nieces for the whole week. So, Dan and I are trying to take advantage of this time.

We actually saw a couple of real swans out on the lake. We tried to get closer, but the swan was able to move faster than our swan. Honestly felt like we were not moving even though we were.

This is a view of the swan from were we sat on the boat! Scary, huh?

After our hour long swan ride, we decided that we needed something cool to drink. We found this shaved ice truck downtown and decided that would be perfect! It sure did hit the spot and I really liked the name too!

This is the view from under the congress bridge! This bridge is famous for the bats that fly out from underneath at dusk. I think we actually heard bats while we were under there. It was alot loud high pitched noise, almost like chirping. The bats were the only thing we could think of. The congress bridge also provided the only shade out on the lake.

It was a nice day to be on a paddle boat, even if it was a swan paddle boat!
