Swimming In The Stream

After all the tents were up and we were
settled in the kids were begging to put
their swimsuits on!

We set off to find a good spot
to swim around the stream.

We kept telling the kids there was a Troll
under the bridge.
(They were very determined to meet him.)

Emma's attempt to photograph
us walking.

And the swimmers are ready!
(while Keira takes a long overdue nap)


Sydney timidly enters the mossy water.
Not quite sure if it's worth getting her feet dirty.

"Daddy, help me!"

Enjoying the water running through their toes.
Even if it was 20 degrees!!


In search of an adventure!
2 dare-devils!

Swim it Emma!

Syd has never liked cold water.
I think it's because she needs some meat
on her bones!

"Mom, can I take some pictures?"

"Sure!"

Emma is freezing, covered in goose-bumps,
and loving it!

Larry is shocked that Emma can put
her whole body into the frigid water.

Wading through the rocks to deeper water.

Sydney gets some guts and tries to enjoy it too!

Up, down, Up, down, back and forth.

Time to swing Tarzan...

...and Jane.

With a little sun and towels,
full color was restored to her little blue toes!

My Nathanael would be loving that, but my Tanner would be more like Sydney. Not a fan of cold water. We call him our cold blooded son.

They looked like they were having so much fun. I wouldn't have gotten in though. I don't swim in anything I can't see the bottom of! You looked great for camping too! Was that mascara I saw?
