When a Plan Works

It's been a hot July (which I've mentioned only a few times already) and the kids are getting tired of hanging out at the lake.  Today they were bored stiff and I suggested going to the river.  We've been there already too so we decided to try a new place by the river.  It took forever to find the site that was recommended to us and the kids were getting pretty grumpy with all the backtracking and walking around but when we finally found the place, we all agreed that this is the place to go back to.  It was private, had many areas to explore, had a warm back inlet as well as the full river.  We had a great afternoon and will definitely go back.  I love it when I force the kids to do something they don't want to do and it ends out working out beautifully :)  A.
