we've been attempting family bike rides &/or hikes on sundays to get us out into the fresh air together as a family. saturdays have been taken up with volleyball tournaments, showers - you name it & we are super busy with me teaching after school & tommy's v-ball practices so sundays have been our day!
a few weeks ago, it was a beautiful afternoon & we set out for a bike ride through the canyon! when we got to the launch site :) we realized we had forgotten the pin thingy (pretty sure that's the technical term) to attach kennedie's trailer to one of our bikes :( bummer! so we settled for a walk down the canyon instead.
after a short venture, kennedie decided she'd like to wade in the river. we found a shallow spot on what looked like a beachy area & a not too steep decent from the path to the river. kennedie & i took our shoes off & ventured in...to the knee deep muddy, delta-like, soft dirt - yuck. it just sucked us in!!
needless to say, our wading did not last long. although kennedie would have happily played in the mud all day long, i was not so inclined. i waded in a bit deeper, dangled kennedie into the river to attempt to wash her off & then we were back up to the path to venture back to the jeep, then home to hose off!!
daddy was able to snap a few picts before he had to help pull us out then help us up the bank!
