at the river

 On Saturday we took the kids to a park near my parents' house.  It's always been one of my favorites.  
Huge green willow trees, a shallow, slow flowing river, bridges, and lots of soft green grass.

 Nicholas insisted on wearing the life jacket.  The water was only about 4" deep.

 I adore toddler legs.

 My cute parents braving the frigid water.  
When they got in and gasped, Nicholas chimed, "It gets better!  Once you can't feel your feet!"

 Ellie decided she'd rather just play on the banks than wait for her feet to go numb. I don't blame her.

Yep, we had a lot of fun.
