The River Wild
On Memorial Day we decided to go down to our favourite swimming spot to cool off a bit. Well it being a river, and with all the rain we have had lately (42 days out of the last 60!) the river was WILD!
Needless to say it made me nervous. The children, and the husband were kept in check, and near the edge where the current was slowed by a bend in the river’s edge.
But the three big tipsy guys who decided to brave the current learned a good lesson.. at least I hope they did. All three were swept downstream. One got out pretty quickly, one we lost sight of and learned later that he got out fine.
In fact all three did.
One good thing.. it did spark and impromptu lesson on what to do if swept downstream. So now the children at least have heard the basics.. who knows if they will ever need to use that knowledge. I know I did once.
Paying the bills…
Coming April 13th
