Grandson at Snake River and Walking Area

While still visiting my daughter and her family in Idaho, we (my daughter, grandson, and I) decided to take a Sunday drive.  We headed up Kelly Canyon way and had the best time.  Before heading up the canyon, we stopped along the Snake River to let the wee one throw some rocks in the river.  I know it looks like he is sitting very close to the water but he was actually sitting back a ways and the grownups were right next to him…..and, we were at a spot that was very shallow.  He had so much fun sitting and throwing rocks into the river. 

 

In the picture below, his shadow looks like he has a pet giraffe sitting next to him.  If you use your imagination and look at the shadow closely, you can actually make out the top part of a giraffe body, followed by his long neck, horns, and small mouth.

After throwing rocks for a bit, we decided to take a walk along a dirt road that ran along the side of the river.  I stated walk….do you ever walk with a 2-year old?!

Ok…….he’s slowing down………..

Time for mom and grandma to catch their breath while the little one stops to pick up rocks and sticks.

AND………….we’re off again…………

Too bad we had to destroy a little of his fun by taking the stick away from him.  Didn’t want him running with a stick in his hand.  And shortly after that, he did fall.  He is such an adventurous little boy.
