Way back in January

So, back in January, it might have been the first week of Febuary, there was a weekend of spring like weather. We met up with Rich, Krista and Bailee and headed to point defiance park. We went to Owens beach to walk and enjoy the lovely day. The girls were looking for shells and rocks while Ben was just standing in one spot at the edge of the water, throwing rocks. Krista and I were walking ahead a little, with the girls shortly behind while Jer and Rich were trying to convince Ben to come on. I turned around just in time to see Ben charge straight into the water!! He was about up to his waist, just standing there looking like he was wondering how he got there. Jer didn't want to step in and get his shoes wet so he stretched and tried to grab ben by the collar of the coat to pull him back, but he accidently bumped him and ben stumbled forward, putting his face in just before Jer grabbed him. Keep in mind all this happened in less than 30 seconds, it was so fast. Poor little guy, he was so cold and wet. We had a change for him in the van, thank goodness. It exhausted him, and he slept for the rest of the afternoon. As for me I have a new found paranoia. This made me realize how fast the little guys can be and how quickly they can get themselves into a danger.
