We often pile into the Bell family van and ride with Dudley Bell (better known as Dad-dad) off on an adventure!  This was a week or two after my birthday (the day I wanted to go) out on the Illinois river.  We drive way down a windy, one lane, dirt road with a mountain on one side and a sheer drop into the river on the other.  I hate the drive, I have car phobias, but I love the outing.  And of course the photo opp is unparalleled!  Here are some pics of my kids in their "floatie" swim suits, making friends with folks and fish alike.  Enjoy!
