Saturday on the Arkansas River

Aaron and I wanted to do something fun this holiday weekend, since it's the last "hurrah" of summer. Because Aaron loves to fish, we decided to go to Buena Vista, which is about 2 hours away, to fish and relax. We had a wonderful time! The weather was perfect and the river was great. Aaron loves it when he can get out on the river and I enjoy watching him and enjoying nature. It was a little scary for me because this is the same river we went rafting in a few weeks ago and the current was very strong. So, being the worrier that I am I had to always make sure Aaron was safe and staying out of the rapids! :) He was safe and we had fun. He didn't fall in and neither of us got sunburned. I relaxed on the shore with a book and some magazines. I wish I would have gotten pictures, but my phone (which I was going to use for a camera) was in the car and I was too lazy to go get it. So, you'll just had to imagine a tree lined river with boulders protruding out of the water every so often and my hansome husband standing in it, casting his line.
Here's a picture I found on the internet to give you an idea of how pretty it was:
It is so wonderful to be able to enjoy God's creations. I am so grateful that we live in this beautiful state where there is so much to see and do. I'm glad that Aaron likes to get out in nature, because I think I would take it for granted and not get out at all were it not for him. Heavenly Father has blessed us with beauty all around and I can't help but think of Him as I am outside. We are SO blessed! We were going to stay the night but couldn't find anywhere that had availability (ah, the joys of last minute plans!) so we just made it a day trip.
