At the river, a very random trip....

We took Maddux down to the river and he really loved it. We put him in the backpack and hiked down about a half mile to the river from River Bluffs. Along the way he serenaded us with his beautiful singing voice. We we got down to the river we noticed some canoes coming down the river and low and behold someone started calling out our name. It was Darren Hickman! Talk about random. He was followed by some of the Massaponax teachers. Everyone was saying Hi to Matt and laughing about how random it was that it happened! You can see Maddux enjoyed the little rapids. The river was very low by the way.



You can see Darren in his brain helmet here!

So Savannah's first question was if Maddux was Matt as a baby. I found this an odd question since she knows Maddux :) Then she asked why Matt was swimming in the "pond". "Doesn't he know your not suppose to do that!" (Down here in Fl they recommend against that because the heat makes the water to warm and little buggies start to grow and make you sick.) So, needless to say, Savannah is thinking Uncle Matt is a little nuts right now :) I did explain to her it is different there. We will have to take her swimming in the river sometime if we are up there ever in the summer!

Oh, and I forgot to mention the gators :) Another reason we tend to stay out of water in this area :)
