He couldn't wait to JUMP right in!!! WOOHOOOOO!!


We went Wednesday to a place called Camp Tonkawa Springs.
It's filled with natural spring water, so it was COLD, COLD, COLD.
Which was refreshing, considering our temps have been in the mid to high 90's.
And don't even get me started on the humidity!

I have SO many pictures to share from this outing
that I'll spread them out over several posts.

 I am too big and too old to be swinging from a rope! But it was kinda fun :-)

Moving on....
We played in the "creek".
It does actually run into a creek, but they've cemented a portion of it.

My dorky kids crack me up running around with swim rings on! 
Aidan was trying to stop up the flow of the creek.tonkawa 6a

Lots of neat things to discover.
 I could've done without seeing that snake. It was a little snake, but still a snake.
Looks like he had just eaten? Probably a frog!
And Aidan says he found the smallest pine cone "in the history of EVER."

LouLou is a lot like her daddy in that she likes to do her own thing most of the time.
Just kick around and people watch :-)
Look at that beautiful smile!!

Once I finally convinced them to take their floaties/swim rings off,
they felt FREE!!
Aidan is a lot like me in that he never meets a stranger.
He played ball with some strangers for a little while.
And he did a LOT of splashing and rock skipping :-)
