Charlie at the river

Here is Charlie headed down to the river. This river runs through our property...but it is about 150 yards or more down the hill from our house. And of course he is wearing his favorite outfit...this time with red pants as the black ones were dirty!

He stomps around for awhile with his sandals on. His favorite thing to do is make me pick rocks out of the river so that he can throw them back in...my hands get cold doing that this time of year.

Then he decides that it is summer time so it is okay to take his shoes off.....

and walk around and play in the freezing water.

Upon return I put him in a warm bath to wash off the mud and warm him up after the freezing river water.
