Sorry for being MIA last week, it was a tad bit busy around here between work and appointments.  Because of that I decided to make sure we had some fun with the kiddos this weekend which included a trip down the trails in our side-by-side to a nearby river.  This was the first time both Stoli and Bacardi had been to a river so I was excited to see what their reactions would be.

As soon as we arrived Tequila was ready to jump in, but Bacardi and Stoli weren’t as sure.  They stayed well on the bank checking out this new environment.

So while their big sister was bounding through the chilly water, they decided to cautiously approach the edge.  Stoli’s approach reminded me of Tarzan’s elephant friend, Tantor.

Although they never did go in the water, they did seem to enjoy exploring the riverbank while watching their big sister play in the deep end as she crossed the river again and again without hesitation.

Eventually, Bacardi decided to hang out with Daddy while Stoli, Tequila and I ventured down river a bit to a very picturesque spot!

Then I had the hubs call Tequila back so she would cross the river again, much to Bacardi’s delight.

And before we left I stopped to snap a few shots of Bacardi in the sprouting grass, since she’s growing so quickly and I don’t want to forget how little she started out.

But my favorite shot was of her showcasing her tiny attitude along the riverbank. 🙂  She’s definitely the perfect fit for our family!
