A very scary day

While we were up at Bass lake we had a day that was a little cold and over cast so Michael thought it would be fun to take the boys on a hike up the falls. Michael and Jordan and the two boys headed out and were gone for about two hours. When they returned Kauner told me that something happened on the hike but he couldn't tell me because dad told him not to. I of course told them to tell me what happened. Michael said that they were trying to get across the river and that Kauner fell in but everything was fine. I didn't think much about it until that night when Michael was having a hard time falling asleep because he couldn't stop thinking of kauner falling in the river. Friday came and the lake was pretty choppy so we decided to hike up with the girls to see the falls. Michael lead the way and when we got to the top he showed me where Kauner fell in. The pictures aren't the greatest but if you look there were three rocks. Michael jumped out to the first to see if they would be able to cross right there and when he turned around Kauner had followed him. Michael stood on the middle rock and went to help Kauner cross and Kauner slipped and went in. Michael grabbed hold of him and pulled him out and decided not to cross there and had Jordan help get him back to safety. If you look at the picture there is a little pond and then the river flows down between two rocks and under a very large rock. After seeing this in person I now know why he couldn't fall asleep. I am glad I wasn't there because I would have freaked out.
