Where IS that river?!

The girls & I went for a walk in the woods at the park today. I did it partly because Anna's been wanting to go down there (it's all downhill from the playground) and partly because I wanted to see the Appomattox River, which is out there...somewhere. By the time we found it - 45 minutes into the walk, on a day when the heat index reached at least 108 - we only got to hang around five minutes or so before Mary's "cranky switch" flipped. There wasn't any place for me to sit & feed her, so we had to walk up to the picnic pavilion, which is about ten minutes up the hill, with a cranky baby, a cranky mommy, and a toddler who just wanted to enjoy the river & play with our water bottle. Well, they have to learn repentance from someone - might as well be me. At least the river was pretty. :)
