Down by the river...

During our short camping extravaganza 

Rolli and Vivian couldn't resist playing at the river's edge.

This made me quiet nervous.

But the dangers of a freezing, fast moving river didn't even faze those two.

Vivian and Rolli.

It really was beautiful.

I can understand why they wanted to play and climb right here.

I had to share this picture.

Because of the look that Rolli is giving Vivian.

Viv had declared that they where playing "mom and dad."

I don't think that Rolli agreed with the 'bossing' that makes up Vivian's role.

Rolli could have sat for hours throwing sticks in the water 

and watching them travel downstream.

Another picture I had to share...

This is what Vivian looks like when she plays "mom."

The orders and instructions just flow out of her mouth at a high volume.

Not sure how I feel about her portrayal of a mother... 

This kid!

I'm thankful for his balance, coordination and strength.

Because he jumped from one rock to the next without hesitation,

without thinking of the possibility of slipping.

When I warned him how dangerous playing near the water can be

he just confidently said,

"Mom, I won't fall in."

And he didn't even want me to be too close,

just in case I had to catch him.

0% fear.  100% action.

Despite the water hazard...

I enjoyed watching my two imaginative toddlers play and explore together.
