A walk to the river

We have made it a bit of a tradition to visit the bosque a few times each fall (here, here and here) because of the beautiful colors and the fun natural playground, but the funny thing is that we have never seen the river during our visits.  This year we made a point to hike until we found it, come see!

The woods always look so inviting!
 A little further down the new trail- a cloudy day with just enough sun shining in through the perfectly fall seasoned canopy of trees. 
 Little J is definitely a 2 year old with his own ideas... His idea of fun was to stop and roll around in the sand, not keeping up with the pack!
 Yay, we found the good old Rio Grande!  Now, first thing first, the boys got a lesson on throwing rocks into the water...
 They watched intently...
 ...And then tried it for themselves!
 A quick seemingly unsucessful photo shoot.
 And then they were off to explore on their own.
 Little Cart-man got lots of love and attention because he was attached to me :).
 'Wait for MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'

Did you go down by Rivers Edge or what? The pictures are great!

Sarah, we usually park at Sage Brush Church and walk across a small bridge that goes over the irrigation canal to get to the dirt bosque trails. It is a great place to explore and so close by :)!
