Country Fun

Today I rode in the back of the truck with my kids on the way to the swimming hole down the river. Uncle Ed uncovered a deer skeleton and stepped around a rotting possum carcass as he was clearing a path to the river with his machete. We felt like we were on a grand and dangerous adventure. Once at the river, we swam in the chilly water, and warmed on the sunlit rocks.
Later tonight, Paw Paw built a fire, and put on smores with peanut butter cookies, instead of graham crackers. I rolled down the itchy green hillside with the kids, and the fireflies surrounded us with points of light.
It's so fun to be a kid alongside your kids.
