Our day started off fine. It took forever to get things together and just go. It was nearly noon by the time we set off on our adventure.. The ride was interrupted rudely when a State Trooper sitting in his car nailed us for going over the speed limit after we came off a hill.. I had left my purse at home ( where I keep Justin's license so it doesn't get lost ), so that didn't go so well. We were "let off" by only getting a speeding ticket for $190 :/ I tried to not let us get down for the rest of the day and we were off ( much slower ) to the river...
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. There were so many agates to find and we found them. Nothing too spectacular but it was fun just the same. Jack and Matt had a blast, as did Justin. And I felt better this time so I really enjoyed being out.
We decided to get out further down so it was easier to get out so our day was extended. But, when we got down to our take out spot there was a new gate and fence so that was a no go. We had to petal back against the current and take out at the Golf course. Nothing like walking through a country club in wet clothes and shoes ;)
The entire trip we heard ambulances and firetrucks going down the road behind us. You never hear alarms in the country so it made us quite curious. When we got back to our car there was a road block, a firetruck right by our car and for a moment we all thought the worst. We couldn't see the car and quite honestly we did not know what to expect. Fortunately we were surprised when we saw the firetruck was just filling his truck with new water and we were told there had been a fire down the road. It was quite a relief. It felt so good to be home when we did! Now if I could just get rid of this sunburn!
