We made a stop at this flooded and awesome campground:
Because of the flooding, there were picnic tables that turned into "islands", water to safely splash in away from the raging river, animals to see, and so much to explore!
We could barely hold Genevieve back from the river! She wants to SWIM so badly!
We finally gave in to Genevieve's need to swim and stripped her down to let her splash in the shallow waters... she was mad when we had to put her clothes back on and leave!! :p
Our picnic tale island we had to cross on boulder bridges to get to!
Daddy, Ammon, & Aaron were expert Lizard catchers. Daddy caught one for Aaron and Ammon caught one. Ammon named his "La Serta" & Aaron named his "Bite" because he latched on to Daddy's thumb and wouldn't let go. Bite "bit" everyoone EXCEPT for Aaron. Bite knew Aaron was his special protector and caregiver. He never bit him! The boys begged Daddy to keep the Lizards so he made a deal with them to pay for their home (aquarium), light, and food and they could keep them! The whole family was ecstatic!!
Papa spotted a family of Mountain Goats and we got within 30 feet of them. They just stared at us and we at them. They wanted to walk to the water where we were to get a drink. We stepped aside so they could feel safe going to the water; and they did.
We had so much fun and as is usual, Michael, Asher, and Genevieve fell asleep. This picture is quintessentially how our boys feel about each other. It is nice to be able to catch it on camera once in a while. Their love is solid.
