Alpine Slide

Over the last year, every now and then Henry and Walter would ask when we were going to go back to the Alpine Slide.  The long wait was finally over...

 

 Notice the tight grip Walter has on Mimi Erin's arm...

Enjoying the ride with Dad.

 

 Loving every minute

What a good looking group.

The cheering section

 

 Henry covers his ears when he's nervous - Mimi Erin knows how to give thrill rides.

Nate and Walter made a video of their ride.

 

 The last rides of the day.

I guess Walter had some specific ideas on how fast

Mimi Erin was allowed to go this time around.

North Shore Continued

The kids love climbing on the rocks, building dams, and wading in the river.

Walter had to be careful not to get his cast wet, but he didn't complain about that...he kept busy looking for rocks...

Uncle Dave, Uncle Paul and Mimi Erin

 

The cool weather couldn't keep Henry from getting comfy in the water - clothes and all.

Aaron

Having fun exploring, throwing rocks, and playing in the water.

Building a dam

Walter wanted to go fishing so he improvised and used his cap as

a net...and it worked!  He caught a few teeny-tiny fish.

 

Mr. Scientist - checking out what was in the "potholes."

 

Can you see the fish? 

It's the little speck between his index and middle finger.

Collecting Rocks

Lunch on the rocks - just a little bit of rain.
