On the Bayou


On Monday we took the homeschool group to Kisatchie Bayou. The weather was beautiful until about 2:30 pm. Even though it was the middle of summer, in the woods, it was not nearly as hot as it was at home.
The kids swam and played in the water for hours. They played in the sand and rearranged some of the rocks to build a wall. They even found a funnel of water to ride down. I think they enjoyed the ride the most.
The men barbecued burgers and hot dogs for lunch. After eating the kids ran off their energy waiting for us to give the go ahead to be back in the water. Not long after returning to the river it started to sprinkle and we were just going to wait it out but the sprinkle turned into a deluge. We sat under an umbrella for about 30 minutes and then decided the rain was not going to let up and it was getting chilly so we headed out. Not long after heading down the road the weather cleared but it was 3:30 so we thought it would be best to continue home.
This is definitely a trip worth taking if you are in the area.
