We went to my Grandma's house earlier this week for a luncheon with my cousin, second cousin, and their 3 kids. I have long been promising my boys a chance to get in the creek in Grandma's back yard so after the others left, I took them down and we got in the frigid creek.
I remember doing this when I was a kid and it was fun but oh so painfully cold, but it felt pretty good on a hot summer afternoon.
Cratey is not sure he wants to get back in! (Pics are out of order, sorry.)
After your feet go numb, it really is fun. Stratton didn't want to get out!
Cratey perched on the side again.
The happy picture.
The not-so-happy picture!
This was when the boys first stepped in. Mill Creek is just runoff from the snow up in the mountains. Now it's September so the water is pretty low, but still cold and being little boys, it came up to their thighs - mid-calf for me.
We took this picture and then the boys wanted out. Then after being out for a minute, Stratton wanted back in. Since Stratton got back in, Creighton wanted back in too. So they got back in and Stratton played around, exploring up and down, while Creighton tried to hug to the sides and stick to the high rocks to keep him out of the water as much as possible.
Maybe it'll be a little warmer and more fun next summer!
HA! I can't stop laughing at the "not-so-happy" picture! :)
