Waterhole

For me this was the most fun part of the vacation.  The day before Josh and Sally drove around the park to locate some fun things for us to do.  When they came back they told us of this waterhole that was fed from a stream so it wasn't all mushy on the bottom.  It would be perfect for the whole family to swim.  So we all loaded up and went for a dip.  The weather was warm but it was perfect since the water was really cold.  The water ran under a bridge which was poured concrete so it was shallow for the little kids, then it ran over this ledge of rock into a swimming hole about 5 feet deep at the deepest.  All of us had a great time.  I tried to stay high and dry but should have known having 3 brothers there it was not to be.  Thor grabbed me and threw me in.  I hated it, but the worst was the fact the rocks were so slimy I couldn't get out.

 Danni and I, it was nap time.

 Hailey was squirting everyone....and it was inconvenient for the men since she is at crotch height.

 Lexie really played well with Paisley and Avenly.  She misses them already.

 I love this picture just because this is a real smile.

 There was this random rock right in the middle of the hole.  The kids would swim out and then jump off of it.

 What can I say...at least he is consistent.

Everyone was all smiles the whole day.

 

Little did we know that all of us adults would have bites all over us.  We are not sure where we got them or what caused it.  They are in places that you know mosquitoes could not get access to.  Pretty sure we all got attacked by chiggers.  Looking back if it happened at the swimming hole it was well worth it.
