We decided that we needed one last getaway before school started for Emma & Grant. So we quickly located a hotel and headed off to South Lake Tahoe. On the way up we stopped along the roadside to throw rocks in the American River. Now, you all have to know that this was at the insistence of my hubby. The kids were content, just had lunch, and were tucked in for the long haul watching Harry Potter in the back. But Jamie dragged them out of the car and said, "Come on, it will be fun!!"
First we have to traverse down the mountain side, over fallen trees, and over rocks. Jamie and I are wearing flip flops, and I insisted that Emma and Grant at least put on their water shoes. So after getting down to the river bottom, we look up river and see a nice little area that has large flat rocks with a little waterfall like thing. So Jamie convinces the kids that is where they should throw rocks--even though they have to walk about 50 yards to get to that spot. I stay on the shoreline, with camera in hand, and Jamie takes off carrying Grant (because he didn't want to walk in the water) with Emma following close behind. While looking through the lens I catch a glimpse of Jamie slip, Jamie and Grant fall down, Grant get completely submerged under the water, and then both come back up. Grant was NOT happy!! Not too much longer after that incident, Emma took a spill of her own. Now may whole family was wet--and had not thrown a single rock!
**Side Note**After making it back to the car, we discovered that Grants bag had NOT made it in the car. So we wrapped him in a towel for the rest of the drive, and hit Kmart for the essentials for the rest of the trip.
