PEDINALES (4 YRS OLD)

Daddy, momma, and S took a road trip to Pedinales State Park today, to go swimming on the Pedinales River. The short 30 minute trip took 2 hours to get to the park.

The car's GPS system took the long way to the park and on the way, daddy, momma, and S saw a motorcycle accident. Daddy stopped the car and help pull the motorcycle out of the ditch and then daddy, momma, and S drove the motorcycle couple to their house, which was 3 miles pass Pedinales State Park. The motorcycle driver looked like he seriously injured his shoulder and perhaps broke his colar bone. His wife was in better condition with no serious injuries.

When daddy, momma, and S finally got the park, it was lunch time. But after a quick bite, everyone headed down the path to the river. S loved it! 150 ft down from the entry was a deep watering hole, probably 4 ft deep. Someone had tied an "acrobat trapeze" bar off a tree and the kids, including daddy, swung from it into the water. S must have swung off it it 100 times (probably less). Daddy encouraged her to try swinging from it while it was spinning. Somehow, all S got was a few scrapes on her knee from the entire experience.

Walking back to the car, she said it was the best thing she had ever done! High praise for a 4 year old! (P.S.Where did she get this dare-devil streak?)
