Adventure to Johnson Farm and Pedernales Falls

What do you do when your camp out has been rained out?
Go on an adventure in the rain.

Mike had the day off, and it seemed depressing to just head home because of the rain, so we took the scenic way home and drove by two state parks. We did the Warnick Family tour (mostly from the car), but got out and braved the cold for the best parts.

Our First Stop: Lyndon B. Johson's Family Farm









Makayla, Logan and Savannah had a blast exploring this living history farm. Logan especially got a kick out of driving the wagon and sitting in the outhouse.
Life on the Johnson farm is presented as it was in 1918. Because of the cold weather, we were the only ones here, but normally you can watch as people do farm and household chores from that time period.
Our next stop: Pedernales Falls

I loved how bright green and turquoise the water looked here. Beautiful park. I guess when the water is higher, the falls run down the rock faces into the different pools. We'll have to come back and check it out again sometime when the water is higher. Maybe after all the rain we've been getting for spring break!

Glad y'all were able to finish up your trip with something fun. That picture of you and Makayla is darling! Perdanales is beautiful when the water is high. Maybe we'll have to join you when you go back.
