Fab Five

Fun in the sun and throw a little water in there too

Today a friend and I took our children to the neighborhood bayou to play. That sounds really trashy doesn't it? "Oh, what do you guys do for fun?" "We take our kids to the bayou and let them play in the water." It was really pretty clear and running fast where we were. It only looks murky because of the bottom soil. It is nothing more than drain water. Oh well, what ya' gonna do.

Anyway, we went to do our Unplugged project, but also to give them some adventure time. They love to build bridges across the bayou. My friend's children had never been. So, I kept the 2 year old from falling in as he and my dd splashed the heck out of the water. In the process getting us all nice and wet. But it wouldn't be any fun any other way, now would it?

Meanwhile the older three children (ages 8-10) went in search of wood to make their bridge. They started out with a few old fence boards. Until they scored big and found a whole fence section to use. I have to give them credit though, because they carried it down the hill and placed it across the water all by themselves.

Then they carried on getting wet, throwing all kids of plant life and sticks into the water, and just being outdoorsy.

Meanwhile I got to chat a little and have fun with the younger two. I don't know how long we were there, but it was just what we all needed.

Not to mention the cute pictures I got.

That is priceless!
