The Newaukum River!

Jerry owns 40+ acres on the Newaukum River and he was nice enough to ask us to come and spend the day on the River with him and his family! It was a very overcast day which turned out to be perfect. The kids spent the majority of their time by the water. Taylor picked up lots of rocks. Any that were not worthy of bringing home with us were thrown into the river!
The biggest thing (at least for me) was that your choice of bathroom was the above (the girls favorite!) or an outhouse. Let's just say that I didn't drink ANYTHING the entire time we were at the River. It does sometimes pay to be a teacher- I have gotten very good at holding :)

The sun did finally come out later on in the day and Maddie enjoyed dipping her feet in!




Taking a break and having a snack!







This was when we first arrived...you can tell because all of Taylor' s clothes are still on! She is currently going through a phase of letting me do her hair (yea!) and smiling for pictures!






I loved this picture of Maddie! Miss Maddie was asleep within minutes of being in the car! She had lots of fun chasing the big girls around!










Here are a few pictures of the gorgeous area! My favorite was the waterfall. It was hidden around the bend of the river!

they are going to kill you when they are old enough to be embarrassed by the peeing pictures!
