We decided to take today to ourselves and give my parents a bit of a break, so we packed up the kids and headed to Durango for a day in town. When we looked at the map of Durango, we saw this river, and decided it would be a great place to start our morning. We had to go down a little cliff to get to the water. With two littles, that was a little scary. Mitch came down with Reese on his back, and we passed Witten down the parts that were too tricky for him to walk. The kids LOVED playing in the water though, and they got soaked. I wish that I had had the forethought to pack an extra set of clothes, but the kids didn't seem to mind too much.
There were quite a few people that were floating down the river while the kids and Mitch were playing. (I got in too, but I'm the one taking the pictures.) The water was FREEZING! I can't imagine rafting down in. Especially in a skimpy swim suit!
Witten's trying to dry off before we go back to the car.
When we were about to leave, we found this car that was buried in the side of the cliff. It has clearly been there for decades.
The kids wanted to take a closer look.
When it was time to go, Mitch and Reese walked back to get the car, and Witten took time to stop and smell the roses. Well...the flowers anyway. (He found that stick, and wanted to take it home.)
Unfortunately, he broke it, so he wanted to bring it home and put it back together with Gorilla Glue. This kid is obsessed with Gorilla Glue right now.
There was a little play set down the hill from the cabin, so after naps, the kids talked Mitch into taking them down there to play for a while.
The dogs really enjoyed the fresh mountain air. They probably would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't had to be tied up.
