The water rose a bit from last time, but the kids did great anyway.
Heading towards the mountains
We made it to the foothills
Notice the wooden rocket launcher in front of the building in the background.

first chapter book
Though Eva's read them to me, and I've read them to her, this is the first time ever for her to read a chapter book on her own to herself.
She got into it and couldn't stop
even for dinner
and knocked it out in 2 days.

The First Ride
Our kids are a little behind the times- they just learned how to ride a bike a couple of weeks ago. For the past few days, they've had a growing yearning to ride 'outside the gate'.
Big Boy Zach in the navigator's seat waiting for dad.
Eva & Elijah on the road outside of our house. 7:20am is cool and beautiful!
They had a blast pushing through this river and on up the other side.
Towards Elephant Cave.
Is it this way dad?
Posing for the glory.
Submerged: canoe & water buffalo
Every first ride should include traversing a rickety bridge across a raging torrent.
Ok, it's a relatively new bridge and the river was calm today, but the kids did have to scoot their way past an unknown canine.
