1. Saturday Morning: Go To Schlitterbahn:

Schlitterbahn,  is located in New Braunfels, Texas along the cool, springfed Comal River.  One of Schlitterbahn's most defining features is the park's water source. Much of the water used is pumped from the Comal River that flows along the park's southern boundary. The water is filtered and cleaned and after use is released back into the river. No chemicals are used in the cleaning process so as to maintain the river's pristine state.  There are tube shoots, body slides, and the world's first water roller coaster located at the water park. 

2. Saturday Evening: Supper at the Gristmill:

Situated on the banks of the Guadalupe River, The Gristmill (located very near Schlitterbahn) is a great Texas restaurant.  Also, it is located nextdoor to the famous Gruene Hall.  It serves steaks, burgers, chicken friend steak, chicken and fish.

 3. Saturday Night: Dancing at Gruene Hall:

Afterwards, walk next door to Gruene Hall.  Gruene Hall was built in 1878, and bills itself as the oldest continuously run dancehall in Texas. The live music line-up is outstanding.

Walk over the the Gruene Mansion Inn for great night's rest.
