The water in the local irrigation ditch is now flowing. They have had a ball throwing rocks, floating sticks and and diverting the flow of water with small rocks. (Notice how wet he is...)
Random picture of them sleeping.....
Took the younger two to the river. Notice JB has on no shoes below. I believe the best way to learn sometimes (if safety is not a huge issue) is the hard way. He would not put his shoes on! At one point we were walking down a little path. Jbird was in front, then JB, then myself. I noticed a small snake slither into the grass in front of me. I made a startled noise. Of course the boys asked what it was. I told them a snake and then told JB he probably stepped on it or right over it. It took a second for it to register and then he let out a blood curdling scream. He was full on hysterics. Screaming and crying. He lifted one of his feet up and refused to put it on the ground. After a few minutes I finally got him settled down. He was terrified of the bottom of his sock. He would not put his shoe on with his sock - so we took the sock off and wore just the shoe. I think the boy is cured from not wearing shoes at the river.
They loved finding big sticks.
They found a small dam to walk across. They loved seeing all the trees the beavers had gnawed.
A view on the drive home.
