Regals Mud Bath

It was another beautiful day at Palmetto State Park in Gonzales, Tx. Regal must have thought it might be fun to sit in some mud for a bit.
 


After walking around for an hour or so encased in mud, it was time for a clean up.. off to the San Marcos River for a bit

Palmetto State Park

It was an beautiful day here in Central Texas. Almost 65 degrees on January 1st, 2012. Amazing. Alan Regal and I drove down to Palmetto State Park. This is a wonderful park to explore. It was named after the Palmetto plants that are everyone.

Bath Time for Regal

Regal was in need of a bath and the Colorado River was the perfect place for one. All you need is a ball and soap.
1st.. send her into the river to get nice and wet.. 2nd ..lather up... 3rd .. send her back into the river to rinse off  4... take walk to dry off
This is by far the easiest bath she has ever had.
