Paradise for Boys (and a Girl)


"There is nothing--absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows, Ch. 1

We spent a great afternoon with some friends! Our friends are a family of 4 boys, about the same ages as our children, their parents, auntie and grandparents. The grandparents live on a large piece of land with a creek running through it, and the boys built a raft.

Here is the raft waiting to go in the creek:


Almost there!


The crowd waiting for the first trip of the raft to the bridge.


Emmi is a monkey!


The afternoon was warm, and this is what ended up happening to the boots:


What's she got in her hands?




Look closely - can you see the frog?



We came home pretty muddy, but thankful for good friends, and the chance to enjoy and explore God's exciting creation.
