River Walk Time in Missouri

Saturday afternoon while in Missouri Heather and Chad took us to Castlewood Park.  It was not far from their home in Chesterfield.  Castlewood is a huge state park located right in the middle of town or so it seems to me.  It has a narrow river running through part of it.  We put on our water shoes and walked up the river enjoying the scenery and our time together.  Chad told us that usually there is much more water, but there has been very little rain this year.

This is the entrance into the park.

It was fun to walk in the water;
it was quite refreshing on this hot and humid  Missouri afternoon

We saw little fish swimming in the water near this bridge.

Here's Heather and Dane enjoying some
mom and son time.

Here's Chad, Skye, and Dane taking a little rest on a fallen limb.

I had lots of fun with the grandkids on this excursion.
It was so hot and humid that I really enjoyed
the cool water on my legs.

Here's Dane looking pretty cool in his baseball cap and
summer outfit.

I dared everyone to get down into the water up to
their chest; the reward would be a frozen yogurt.
I think I set a good example!
