K falls in the river!!

For family night on Monday, we all decided to go to the Jordan River to go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors. Kennedy brought her scooter and Scott and Nicole walked. After we had gone about a half mile, we stopped and rested by the side of the river. We went down to the bank and saw muskrats! Or something things like that swimming in the river! They were really neat. One of them came and swam right past us. Scott could have reached out and grabbed it it was so close. As the sun was setting, Nicole and Scott got up and told K that it was time to head back to the car. Kennedy totally ignored them, so Nicole started walking back to the car, and Scott got and the scooter. Scott told Kennedy that we were leaving and started scootering away. A second later, Kennedy started screaming! Scott thought she was throwing a fit that because he was leaving her behind, but quickly he relized that those were some very serious screams. Scott hurried back to her on the scooter and found her climbing out of the river, completely soaked and covered in mud.

Scott took off his sweater to give to Kennedy and took off on the scooter for the car. Nicole got kennedys wet clothes off, Kennedy put on Scotts sweater as a shirt, and used Nicoles sweater as a dress! We are so sad that we did not get pictures of Kennedy.

Although Kennedy was pretty traumatised at first, she took it pretty well, and on the way home we were even teasing her about how the muskrats must of helped her get out of the river.
