Great Falls Park

Today we took the kids to Great Falls Park for the first time. I really wanted to go since it had been raining so much, I knew the water would be raging. The waters didn't disappoint. Evan couldn't believe his eyes. When he first saw the water, he said WOW man that is big! Then he said can we go fishing?

At one of the outlook we saw about five cranes in the water, this was just one of them.
Joni really enjoyed it as well. Every time we stopped at a lookout she was screaming to get out. She really wanted to get out on those rock. Maybe that is a sign of the future, no she just wants to get into everything.
After taking a look at the falls we decided to walk over to River Bend so Evan could see the Dam. At first he didn't want to go because he didn't know what a dam was. Once we explained to him, he was excited to see it.
Here is the dam:
And of course he had to throw a rock in the water.

It was such a beautiful day to go as well. We went early enough that we missed the crowds of people that we there when we left and it wasn't hot yet either. I was surprised that I escaped with out one bug bite. I thought for sure walking through the wet woods I would get something.
