Photo Story Friday and A Day at the River

Daddy took a day off work this week so we could do something together as a family. Life these days is way too busy, and often we don't do many of the things we want to. Since Calum was born it seems like when Geoff is home I try to work, and vice versa. I have been working Saturday mornings, and then Sunday we have church which doesn't leave for very much left over for recreation.

We live near some lakes (but I am honestly a little sacred to swim in them), and there is an lot of goose poop around. However right down the street from us is this beautiful clean river, with fish the boys can see, few people (if any), lots of clean sand to play in, and the water is not freezing which is always a bonus. The boys had a blast swimming, playing in the sand, and who could forget throwing rocks. It was great to just hang out together. Here are some pictures from our fun day (except for the fact that my boys have lots of mosquito bites from this adventure)..eeks!

Evan and Daddy practicing kicking! Don't they have the exact same smile???
They swam to the other side and went exploring... Well one swam, and one was carried...

Evan taking in the view.

Daddy and Mister Calum. He was so content in this position.

Still a little unsure of the sand (only for the first 5 minutes).

Looks like you guys had a great time! I love family days in the middle of the week, somehow makes them more special since they are out of the ordinary.
Since you were outside, does that mean the smoke has cleared a bit?

Very beautiful pictures. I think I love the one with your son's back turned to the camera the most.

What fun! It's great to take time off and do something fun with the family. Looks like everyone had a great time. I especially like the kicking exercises. :)

Although the only problem with sand is it gets everywhere!

Looks like great fun! These are the memories they will keep forever. :) I still remember my mom taking me to the creek when I was little.
