Playin' in the River

We love having friends that live here in Pagosa! They introduced us to something new today...the Hippy Dip on the San Juan River! SO fun. The Hippy Dip has naturally occurring hot springs (very hot...like a hot tub) adjacent to the free-flowing, freezing cold river. So the kids went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...from hot to cold to hot to cold to hot to cold again. Very unique, and very fun. I sprained my toe falling down the stairs yesterday (very graceful, I know!) and the cool water felt SO good on my foot. The hot water made it sting! I thought that was interesting...I would have thought that I would have experienced the opposite effect. 

Lainey's climbing out of one of the hot springs.

Natalie, Tucker, and Lainey

These four play SO well together. Tucker is the big brother that Walker never had!





Walker spent a lot of time throwing rocks. See Thomas? He came with us, too.


Thomas didn't like getting dirty. 


Natalie :)

These two outlasted the city kids. They could have done this all day long!

Tucker and Natalie are 11 months apart. The sweetest little - ahem...big - kids. 

There are always more rocks to be thrown.

See our friendly friend the snake? :)


And a tiny snake! We figured they must be related. ;)

Looks like y'all are having a blast! (Sorry about your toe though!) All of your pretty pictures are making me wanna go to Colorado in the summer. (I've only been in winter.) Love seeing your cute kiddos having so much fun!
