Today we had the best time splashing and swimming in the river. My father in law invited us to bring his grand babies and go out to the Huzzah Valley Resort
We left home bright and early to make the drive and arrive early enough for a good spot.
I've never been to this resort but it was just beautiful! I yelled"Pull over!!" so I could jump out of the car and get a photo of the beautiful pastures.
The temperature reached over 100 degrees today but the clear water was cool and fresh. In this area, the water was about 8 feet deep and had tons of big fish swimming around under me, nibbling my toes. Even in the very shallow areas, I sat with my hands out, petting them as they passed by. Amazing!
My sister in law came and brought her two girls and we all had a blast. The kids were so brave, especially my oldest niece, Hannah! She must have jumped off the ledge into the river over a dozen times, yelling "Watch The Amazing Hannah as she jumps into the river!!" We made a river train, with the littlest in the front and I towed them all around.
My favorite part of river play is all of the beautiful rocks. This area has some amazing geodes and rocks with holes in them, which my mom always said you can peek through to see fairy land! I collected a ton of beautiful river rocks for her to put in her country garden.

Your outfit is adorable- and I'm glad you don't shy away from showcasing clothes from less glamourous places like Wal-mart! I got my swim suit there too, and get so many basics from there, especially when they're on clearance.
ReplyDeleteIt makes buying the fabric to make extra-pretty dresses and pencil skirts a lot easier on my clothes budget.

What a beautiful spot for a swim wearing the cutest bathing suit ever. I must say though that the thought of swimming with fish nibbling my toes has me in fits of terror. You brave gal!
