An Afternoon on the River

This river runs right through town. A good friend owns land with access to the river. Last weekend I took the kids down to the river to play. It was an amazing day. The kids played on Turtle Island which eventually resulted in being covered up to their chins in mud and then having to strip down to their underwear in order to get clean. I've finally been enough times to have learned to pack a towel and clean dry clothes.

I spotted this white beauty on the wooded trek down to the river.  It's the first flower in full bloom that I've seen.

Looking the other direction- there's Turtle Island.
