Creek Splashing

Cody's first "swimming" experience was Tuesday! Trixie and I took the kids to Belleview Park, and enjoyed the playground before heading down to Dry Creek to do some splashing and sand play. Fin, Sel, and Andrew all had a good time digging around, pouring things, and making "soup" or "cake" in their sand toys. Trixie and I lounged on the picnic blanket with Cody in the shade to keep cool. IT WAS 85+ degrees out. Phew. Although the water was rather chilly, the air was so warm, and it was shallow... it really wasn't bad. It felt good for a cool down, and I wouldn't complain.
Cody enjoyed the water, like he would a bath, but he didn't seem to want to sit in it very long. I don't know what bugged him: the sand and rocks in his toes, or the cold water rushing around his bottom? He was too cute, though, in his little trunks and swim shirt (thanks Target and cousin Fox)!
