River Walk

Back what seems a long long time ago we ventured back to my home town where there are three pretty cool things.. Grammy and Grampy, a river walk, and ice cream at Hodgies!

You wonder what they are all looking at? We started the walk in the mill yard, where we watched the ducks  swim dangerously close to a waterfall.





Along the way there were zillions of wild flowers, we picked one of each to make bouquets.





Grampy waits patiently while the kids collect flowers

By the end Cora's was mashed into her little fist 




Wait for us Grampy!

Cool bridge along the way

Sometimes we think Cole is a pirate.. or maybe Popeye, he's got the one eye thing down pat!

By the end they were tired of holding their bouquets.. Cora's were tossed into a puddle, and Caden's was left on a pole for all to see.


We were getting close to the end and realized it was going to be a long walk back, and it was getting close to dinner time.  Rob and Grampy turned around for the cars to meet us at the end.. and to keep the kids going we promised a "golden treasure" at the end!

The golden treasure was a frozen lemonade and some munchkins.. but they were much appreciated

  

And after dinner.. on to the best ice cream in the world!!  seriously!  Hodgies is a weakness.. if you ever get the chance get Peanut Butter Cup.. you won't regret it!




Rob pretending to steal Caden's ice cream.. got a rise from him every time

We scream for ice cream!!
