On the River

Headed to the river
We have enjoyed some great family on the water this summer! Saturday before the girls went to NC, Brent decided we needed a little family time in the afternoon all together. So he suggested we go over to St. Mary's River for part of the afternoon to wade and play in the shallow pools of the river. He had a hospital visit earlier in the afternoon and after that we headed to the river for a little while.
Here we are headed down the trail.
We found a grape vine growing over the river
Bethany even tried part of a grape.
This was the perfect time of year for us to go to St. Mary's. It is almost a creek where we were anyway and with it being so dry, the water level was perfect for our girls to play!
We also saw at least a couple dozen crawfish, of all sizes in the water.

Checking out the pools in the creek




This little lady had fun playing with the rocks along the creek.

At the deepest point where we were, Rachel found a spot in a pool that came up almost to her waist and she swam a little in the creek.


 They were using the stick to "go fishing"

Headed off from a fun afternoon on the creek. We will be going back for sure!

As we headed back down the trail, we met another group of hikers who had come back down from further up the river. They shared some watermelon with us. Bekah got a huge piece as you can see here and this was all that was left in the 20 minutes to our house! The girl loves watermelon!
Thankful for a fun afternoon as a family on the river!
