This is Hamilton Pool in Texas. We visited here with our cousins and uncle when we went down to Austin over Christmas. It is a pretty neat place.
This is the water from Hamilton pool flowing toward a river who's name I do not remember. The water flowed so slowly and it was green as ever. I had never hiked in a place like this. It was neat.
Here's Shadow and Nate at the dog park. We spend a lot of time wandering around doing nothing or getting some good exercise. Over spring break I walked here almost every day and it was nice. I wish it was right next to our house...

It is still not quite spring here. This was a couple weeks ago, but the back yard still has snow in it.
We went snowboarding yesterday and it snowed all day with the really nice fluffy "champagne" snow as Nate called it today. We barely made it up the mtn in our front wheel drive car (thank you snow plow!), and by the time we went to go down the mtn, there was so much snow drifted around our car that we had to get towed out of the parking lot to the road where we then followed another plow down the mtn. It was awesome. It snowed all night up there and by the time we got up there today they had 30 new inches of snow in 24 hrs!!! It was really good snowboarding! The problem, besides being their last day open, was the line to get on the lift was about a 20 min. wait, so we only went down a couple of times and had fun, then went to Pizza Hut... So anway... it's still winter here, but I don't think for long. I am ready for nice moderate temperatures and lot's of sunny days. And now that the mountain has received ~70 inches of snow in the last 2 weeks, there will be plenty of snowshoeing to do for a bit. Anything to get into shape... i have goals. We'll see if I meet them. Nate has goals too... so we're trying to encourage each other. Alrightythen... I feel a little sense of accomplishment having put some photos on here and Facebook. Better go get ready for the week... goodnight.
