Since the water level has been so low in the Arkansas river I thought it would be fun to take the kids and explore seeing as they had just heard and seen all this cool stuff people find there. So, Sunday afternoon we headed out. Some how I forgot that it is still blazing hot here in Tulsa and before we even made it to the river I knew it wasn't going to be a fun time. Okay, bad attitude but I had sweat poring off me and James was not a happy camper. We made it into the river bed and began our wandering. I was left with Andrea who after two steps began complaining about everything down to the sand in her flip flops. It really is a pretty neat place to walk and explore but with the sun pounding down and no breeze I felt like I was in the middle of the desert. Becca and Brayden were quickly discouraged when all they found were shells. After a while I heard Becca yell at Ron.."WHY IN THE WORLD ARE WE DOWN HERE, THERE IS NOTHING HERE!!" NO big finds were discovered and I ended up dragging Andrea and James back out of the river along the path back to the park. Ron managed a little longer with the other two but by the time they all made it back to the car each kid had a face so red they looked ready to explode. Lesson learned....summer goes long (you would think I would know that by now!) here in OK and just because school starts doesn't mean the weather cools down!
