And then there was the River

When we were not playing with the water slide on campus there was always the river to go for a swim in. Freezing cold but refreshing. The only thing I found was that it was not too pleasant if you got a mouthful....

The water was very clear and also quite fast moving in some places. Further upstream from here it was deep enough for the boys and some of the girls to jump off the cliff....

Emily enjoying the sun shine on the edge of the river.. I think that the swift current may have been a little to challenging for her.





Patrick building a wall to create a nice sitting place in the river... Where current is no problem.




Patrick the builder.... Still having a great time in the water.... Fully dressed and all.


Go on jump in the water is great.... At this point in time this is our water baby. Emily comes a close second.




The river was definitely a great place to cool down and relax... I had wondered why we never did this at the beginning of last year and then remembered that there was the issue of some sort of toxic algae in the river and so a swim was somewhat ill advised..... We however made the most of it over the summer.
