Shut Ins

While on vacation we visited a state park in So. Mo with an odd name.  

The Shut Ins.

Say what?

That's exactly what I said, but then when I found out why they were called it.

Well, I still wonder...

 It has to do with all these rock in the canyon, the flow of water, etc.  The kids had a blast climbing over the rocks.  Although the Dude has since stated that he didn't have any fun at all.  It could be because he was expecting a rock slide.  The kind a five year old boy dreams of.  He didn't get one of those, but he did do some sliding.

I soon realized how many muscles I don't use in a normal day.

Can you guess?
A lot!

I did end up having to get in with the kids because Miss Boo said the current was too strong.
Little did I know until I had entered that freezing water that all she had to do was stand up.

I love these kids.  Glad they got me in the water.  But, for obvious reasons I did not include any of the pictures that Mr. Finn took of me with them.  Yikes!
