Water fun

So, after yesterday's humiliating post, and realizing that I didn't have any recent pictures of my children in the water, I enlisted help, (face it, two very active kids and one very dependent baby vs one mommy isn't fair) and my future sister in law and brother and trooped the whole block and a half to the river. 

Keep in mind yesterday's post, the water here is direct runoff from the snow in the mountains, so it is COLD! (Best I can find online says the average this time a year is less than 60 degrees) Anyway. 

We all trooped over to the river and I was able to get a few pictures before I had to head to an appointment. 

After I left Mike and Tabi were able to get some cute ones. Here are just a couple of my faves:

Natalie running away

from what you ask??



LOL! While they weren't splashing each other they were learning how to huck rocks!

Just a few more



Now I have some to share! :)

oh, and just so you know she is alive and well, one of Alivia too!

  3. They sure are cute! That water must be cold...their little legs look kinda red in some of the pictures! But kids are amazing. I would have refused to get cold, but they look like they are having a total blast!

    (PS What was humiliating about yesterday's post?)

  5. Kristina, mostly that I had NO pictures of MY children in the water, so I had to borrow pics from photobucket. :)

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
