Friday and Saturday – after dark witness the Balloon Glow, when all the balloons light up the sky.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 5 PM, watch the sky as the parachute team jumps from their plane and lands in the middle of the launch field.
Friday Night - The Killdares have their own unique blend of Celtic, popular and rock and roll music. I know we will like them because they have a Texas attitude (check out their album cover–Stonehenge with cars).
Saturday Night – “GOOD QUESTION,” a professional big horn cover band that will fill the park with their “wall of sound.” Put your disco shoes on, get some big hair and get ready to boogie down.
Look to the sky again on Saturday evening for an amazing fireworks show. This is a treat because the drought here in Texas has pretty much squashed holiday fireworks this year.

When I watched the REHAB video trailer, I thought I was watching the advertisement for a *NEW* video of G*rls G*ne W*ld. REHAB has a similar type of bouncy, giggly, OMG environment. Then I noticed that everyone was wearing clothes. So, if you love pool parties, grab your swim wear and head out to Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) in Las Vegas, where trutv.com is going to take you behind the scenes of the filming of Rehab. The HRC has 70,000 square feet of swimming pool and all sorts of pool-party activities. The location and the temperature, which reaches 110 degree F., make this THE hottest pool party in the world.
So, you want to appear in REHAB. If you are a young woman who God has gifted with a wonderful face and body, you will probably walk right in. The young men, however, must bring 10-12 good looking young women with them to gain admission. It really looks like anything goes! Wear a costume, become a game or provide a service and you will have fun. Visit the trutv.com and enter to win a chance to party like a rock star at Rehab at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool.
I did not see REHAB last season, but I do plan to watch season two with all new episodes. The REHAB season premiere is September 1, 2009 @ 10pm Pacific/9pm Central. The new season starts Tuesday @ 10pm Pacific/9pm Central. You will soon find out it is not all fun and games. There have already been fights, thefts, assaults–well, you imagine each episode has 5,000 customers with enough alcohol to float the Mayflower–and you can imagine the mayhem.
One caveat. If you have a problem with drinking–you get mean, sick, nasty, out-of-countrol or want to hurt people– please watch REHAB on trutv.com before attending. Everything is filmed and you do not want your mother to see you throwing up purple jello shots truTV’s Rehab.
Located on the northeast corner of Inks Lake, Devil’s Water Hole has been described as one of the most scenic swimming holes in the state. I would have to agree. While Inks Lake is just a comma among the much larger Hill Country Lakes, it is the most dramatic in scenic beauty. Pink granite outcroppings mixed with natural woodlands and crystal clear water.
For this trip we were in our canoe and heading straight into the Devils Water Hole, which is a large cove that meanders around huge blocks of rocks. As you are heading in, THE JUMP that everyone must do is the double rock wth the tree behind it. It does not look high, but it is.
If y’all are not sick of the photographs, we have some killer shots from above the rocks on the jump side. We hiked one day and achieved a vantage point unlike any we had seen. Better have been. We both nearly died from hiking in 98 degree heat.
