Minnehaha Picnic

Today we went to Minnehaha Falls for my sister, Terri and her husband, David's annual picnic. The weather was really windy and cool. I didn't pay much attention to the weather when we left for the picnic so we didn't have sweatshirts or anything--luckily David has some extra jackets!

We had a great time even with the cool tempature. We walked down to see the falls and along the river to where the river widens a bit and there is an area of water that is out of the main current and the kids can walk and play in it. Matthew fell trying to walk on the rocks and got totally soaked! He didn't seem to mind even though we didn't have any clothes to change into. And Emily was trying to clean off her feet and threw her croc shoe ahead of her in the water. She didn't realize the river current was really strong and her shoe started heading off down the river! Luckily Nick was after it in a flash and the shoe got hung up on a root just long enough for him to reach it. Thank goodness.

After that fiasco we went back up to the picnic site so Matthew could air dry himself by playing frisbee and trac-ball with his brother and Grandpa. We had a fun day to remember!
