Just in time for the River Festival...

The Arkansas certainly is mighty mighty after all the rain fall. We went to Big Arkansas River Park tonight to check out the water again. I thought it was strong last night, let's just say wow for today.


While I hiked under the freeway bridges, Angelo took the kids to throw sticks in the water- a favorite past time for the older 2. Ali was the first to see me up on the bank with the zoom lense.

The kids (and Angelo) are standing on what was the river path. Currently, there are sections under water.

They found great joy in traversing the sides. Yes, they know the word AND use it in context.

With all the fisherman out (yes, there were a ton), talk ofcourse went to Uncle Melvin. Specifically that "Uncle Melvin is a fish slapper." Giuliana was quite concerned and didn't think she would want to go fishing with him for fear of being fish-slapped. She was only minorly comforted when she learned that it's probably only Grandpa that gets fish slapped by Uncle Mel. (Insert audible laughing here.)



Water goes in one side:

And out the other:
