Natural Dam

We had a rare obligation-free Saturday, so Nathan suggested that we go to Natural Dam and check it out. After we all slept in a little, we drove on up and spent a very nice morning checking out the sights and playing the water.

Some of us were very excited to be back in the water. Summer was a long time ago. I have managed to have 2 fish for children and it has been an eternity for them.

 Pretty girl...

 Ornery girl...

 What goes around comes around! Be ornery to your mama, almost fall in the water.

 Jillian did a little "surfing."

Just so you know that all outings with us include some sort of meltdown. I have evidence this time. H got mad that J did something he was too little to do. Crying about it makes us all feel better (insert eye roll here).

My world in a picture. Jillian is playing in the background.  

 Jillian climbed the rocks to get to the top (why walk along the top, it is so boring.)

I just happened to snap this one at the perfect time. It looks like Harrison is hovering above the water.

Jillian had to dive in, too. I think they both realized it might be a tad too cold for this as they both became reptilian shortly after. They both sought rocks in the sun to warm up some.

We also went to the Alma Trail and took Captain the dog with us. And we got our first snowcones of the season. Harrison's mouth is as blue as I have ever seen it after his blue raspberry one. Now it is time for steak for dinner and a relaxing evening at home.  I guess I would get bored with this after a while, but I can assure you, it will not be today.
