Hurricane Shoals

We love going to Hurricane Shoals! We were more then willing to go when Landon requested we spend his birthday there. Since we homeschool we had the whole park pretty much to ourselves. The tubing is great! The shoals are so slippery and the water so strong that only the older boys and Tim could take the younger guys tubing. Braden was so cool to take Carlisle tubing. You can see that Carlisle loved it!

Braden also took Johnston down. They got dumped in a bad spot, but Johnston was tall enough to stay above the water. The kids spent at least 4 hours tubing the shoals.

I love seeing them having such a great time.

Mendell taking a break. She was so adventurous this trip. She has become a water bug!

Jameson just being a goof!

Because of all the rain this year the water was running nice and high. Last summer due to the lack of rain the water was so muddy and low we only went once.

Tim and the some of the kids decided to cross the shoals up stream. They were very slippery. Tim was the only one to make it across dry. He went back for Skylar and helped her cross.

Tim is such an awesome man. He has so much confidence and such an adventurous spirit.

I love this picture of Skylar trying to keep her balance!

Carlisle enjoyed the water so much. He spent every second he could in it.

I love this picture of Landon and PJ.

Kendrick with his always smiling face! I am so proud of him for how far he has come these past few months. When he first came to live with us he was deathly afraid of water, but we can't keep him out of it now.
