With all this nice summer weather, it was time to break out the old Canoe. So The Fuzz loaded it onto that wonderful little truck and we headed of to the river.
The river is dammed up in this place, so it's really a sort of lake here. Last year The Fuzz and His Sweetie were down here and found this Creek running into the lake.
We paddled up it about as far as we could get and came here. This is the same place we found last year.
This time we were joined by Young Daughter who you can see enjoying this Spring Fed Swimming Hole.
It's kinda funny, the creek is so shallow here, but then, here is this nice deep Swimming Hole.
The Fuzz's Sweetie did some painting, we all did some swimming, and then had our picnic lunch.
We saw several of these Bird Houses near the mouth of the creek, but nobody seemed to be home.
The water was surprisingly high, considering how dry it's been lately. But I'm happy to say that we got about 1/4in of rain last night.
I know this because I looked in the Rain Gage that The Fuzz's Yankee Sister sent him. He used to have one before, but it froze and busted. I guess it was a better rain gage than an ice gage. But this new one works great, of course it only works when it rains.
The Fuzz just reminded me, that it works equally well when it doesn't rain. I guess he's right, now that I think about it.
