As I mentioned in the previous post we took the kids to the creek Sunday evening. We had a picnic lunch and then went "wading" in the creek. Well, I am sure you are not surprised to find out that they got a little more wet than wading would do, but that is why we planned ahead and put them in swimsuits! LOL
The water was cold and we had a few who were a little reluctant to get in. Here are A and RT as they attempt to get in the creek.
Of course the boys had no problem getting right in!
Here Dad is helping R remember how to swim with his "big arms", his over hand stroke. He is too busy playing to take the time to work on this but we do have Summer Camp (JAM Camp- Jesus and Me) coming up and they swim daily.
The creek is pretty full this year so we have a little area of rapids the kids like to play in. Here they are trying to come back upstream.
RT was nervous about walking in the creek as the current was a little stong. Nothing we worried about but he had never been wading here before so Phillip helped him out.
Once he was in, he loved it!
Everyone had a blast!
Then it was time to head home.
The kids played some more and stayed up until there were signs of exhaustion. They stayed up pretty late and are still asleep now. It is only 7:30am but I don't usually get uninterrupted time to post.
Soon all 6 kids will be awake and they will hit the floor running. How blessed we are!
