River camping

We met with three other fcc families this past weekend at the river campsite near our old house.  It was our 20th anniversary, not very romantic but lots of fun.  The kids loved playing at the river.   On Saturday it was so hot that eventually we had five kids in their undies and a naked Jia in the water.  One of 8 kids thought to bring a bathing suit.  The water was SOOOO cold.  Bless Penny for getting in and helping Jia walk on the slippery rocks in the current.  It was funny to watch the slow progression of shoes off, pants rolled up, layers off until it was just a full on get in and get wet.  I'd like to go back when the water calms down, is a bit warmer and we're prepared for getting wet.  When we got home Mom stopped in to let us know that we won the grand prize from a charity raffle, three nights for two at a fancy resort in Tofino.  Kids want to go too of course.  We'll see.  We can't use it until the fall so the plans can wait.  I didn't pack a camera in the campground so the pictures are from Shannon who used her phone.
