riverside

One last post from our road trip.... this was probably one of my favorite activities. 

Friday afternoon we went to a nearby river to go wading.  I seriously felt like I was in the middle of a country song.  Ashlei and I (and her five week old little boy Langdon) were planted in reclining lawn chairs in the shade.  Matt and Graham supervising the other children in the water. 


All types of water guns and water sprayers..... check out Julianna's face : )


And after we all got hungry... time for supper.  Veggies and tofu and homemade sausage and other yummy stuff roasted over hot coals at this little roasting table.  The lady carries her whole set up on a bamboo pole slung over her shoulder.  I guess you could say she delivers :)

Hanging from one end of the pole is the grill table with hot coals ready to cook.  On the other end of the bamboo pole hangs a big basket full of veggies.  It's fresh too - while the eggplant cooks she sits on her little stool, peeling and slicing potato.  Then the potato cooks and she slices up the sausage links.  And so on.... till our bellies are full and we stop ordering.  


(that's a wider, deeper portion of the river in the background). 

So fun - we would DEFINITELY do this again :)
