FOCUS ON TEXAS
Beat the Heat
By Ashley Clary
Summer in Texas: Enough said. When not seeking refuge from the blazing sun indoors, these South and Central Texas co-op members—and their furry friends—definitely knew how to keep their cool.
Bandera Electric Cooperative member Charles Carlson captured this charming moment between 4-year old cousins Campbell Carlson and Jakob Carlson as they waded in the Frio River.
Brothers Gabriel (left) and Bailey Ewan cooled off with their first taste of homemade strawberry ice cream. Their grandfather, Henry Wilson, is a Pedernales Electric Cooperative member.
Fries, who succumbed to lymphoma in March, left Bartlett Electric Cooperative members Woody and Peggy Ray with many wonderful memories, like the one captured here when she was tuckered out after playing with her favorite toy, the sprinkler.
Lacy (left) and Cricket know how to deal with the dog days of summer. Pedernales Electric Cooperative member Nancy Herrmann snapped this shot of the two chilling out in their very own swimming pool.
Grayson Smith, Colton Mendenhall, Rylan Smith and Garrett Neiman (from left) jumped into the South Llano River to beat the heat. Brothers Grayson and Rylan’s mother, Kayla Smith, is a member of Pedernales Electric Cooperative. |
