Afternoon at the river

On Saturday (Mind you, our first whole weekend off together in months!), we went to Chau Ram park which is on the Chauga river. We had a great time playing in the water. I especially love that the water is nice and clear because it's pretty fast-moving w/ lots of rocks and because there are several little beaches. Patrick thought the hike was pretty relaxing: Then, he woke up and wanted his turn in the water. He just sat there and looked at it and splashed:I think that look is: "This is an awefully large, cool, loud bathtub!!"

Jackson is all of a sudden a brave little fish. We had to take turns wading in the water and climbing rocks with him. He wanted to go alone, but there are so many drop-offs and slippery rocks that we had to be careful of.

Matt likes to give me heart attacks whenever possible. Don't worry, he had a good grip on him and Jack thought it was awesome:
