Down by the River...

After we finished with the park we drove over to another little town and enjoyed the views of the Mississippi river...it was such a lovely view that my mom attempted to get some pictures of Elsie and I...we plan on getting some printed off so Jon has some new pictures of his girls for his wallet...
Elsie was less than cooperative! She would not look at the camera for anything!

Soon she just went off down the trail herself! She had enough of taking pictures!

The 6 monkeys hanging in the trees..oops...I mean the 6 kids looking good!

Elsie and papa Wayne...sitting on a tree stump...

Because she was sitting so well with my dad and cooperating for a picture...we had to try one of Elsie and I...

Everyone walking along the river...as we walked along we could music being played...under the pavilion at the end of the path were some musicians playing bluegrass type music...we sat on the ground for awhile a listened...we had a very leisurely afternoon...

The kids enjoying the river views...

One the way home Elsie was so pooped out she took a late nap around 6 pm! Uncle Colter tucked the flowers under her ear as she slept...Such a sweet thing!

We all had a great spontaneous day...a full but leisurely day...With any luck my parents will call again and ask us along on another spontaneous day! But we all know if they don't call we will just invite ourselves...there really is nothing better than being surrounded with family, laughter and adventure! Any maybe a few cray fish!
