Down by the River

This was one of the first Saturdays that we've had that was free from plans. We got up fairly early and decided to take the boys to the river before it got too hot. It's September and where I come from that means fall, but not here. This past week has been above 100 degrees!!! CRAZY. I love the fall but around here, it comes around October.

The boys had a lot of fun throwing rocks into the river. Max was a little more cautious than Benson, which is exact opposite of their norm, so Max tended to stay up on the rocks while Benson was down in the water the entire time.

At one point we heard a "THUD" and saw that Max had thrown a rock, golf ball size, and it had hit Benson in the head. Justin and I had a hard time not giggling at the sound that it made. It was pretty apparent that it was a firm throw, sort of the sound that you would get throwing a rock at a ripe watermelon and then having it bounce off. Benson shrugged it off pretty fast and was back to his search for skipping rocks. Needless to say, Benson moved to the other side of the beach to protect himself from Max!

The rest of our Saturday was spent hanging out at home and playing inside, away from the heat.
