Swimming in the River. . . Redneck style

Last Wednesday Austins friend McCarty invited the kids to go hiking from her house in Anderson Junction into Toquerville by way of the river.  Cody and Mady were way excited to be included in the venture, and they invited Kris Wilson along for the fun, who invited his not-girlfriend Kimber Hawkins.  I tried to take a picture of Austin before they left and ended up chasing him around the house before I got some.  It all looks pretty fun.

Austin is running away from me, but his dad
is coming around the front of the house with a different camera.
Gotcha!!

Austin and Kris are ready to go swimming
Redneck style.

Cody is ready to go too, only in hiking boots instead
of cowboy boots.

Loading up. . .

Crossing the river, trying to stay dry.

  Austin and McCarty did not succeed in staying dry
but did have a lot of fun.

After they arrived in Toquerville Dixie (McCarty's mom) came and gave them all a ride back to McCarty's house.  They all came home with tall tales to tell.
