Today!

This morning we decided to take a drive to Three Rivers and spend the morning. We've never been up there so we didn't know what ot expect.

We went to a retreat/conference center and walked around a bit. We walked around a portion of the grounds that had the stations of the cross. So the kids asked some questions and got we explained it as best we could to a 5 and 3 year old. :) at one point we turned a corner and Jason said, "OH my gosh...you've got to be kidding". I was a few feet behind him and was expecting to see a big hole in the sidewalk or something. We I turned the corner a huge buck was walking across the walkway-about 20 feet from us. The kids loved to see it...and then it ran away. I snapped a picture as it ran into the grass.

Then we started to take some family pictures.

Boy, it's hard to get all 5 of us looking at the camera!

And one of just mommy and daddy. :)

Of course a trip to Three Rivers isn't complete until you stop at the candy shop. We ate lunch at We Three restaurant and then stopped to get ice cream. YUMMY!

We promised the kids we'd play in the river...so we had to make a stop. It was pretty hot so we didn't last long. But it was long enough. I think this place was called Slick Rock. We came home with a bag of rocks-grammpa jim, you'd be proud!
