I wish I had pictures of our tubing trip, but I was afraid to take my camera for fear of getting it soaked. This picture is the big swimming hole. Kids were jumping off two big rocks into a 20' deep hole. Most of them were teens, but that didn't keep our two grandkids from climbing up the rock and joining the fun. The river and the surrounding views are so beautiful. 
Caelen and Lyssa were not sure at first--the water was cold and the experience was new. But they watched what the other kids did and joined right in.
Caelen climbed a bigger rock opposite the one in the picture, using a rope to get up to the top. He jumped from there, but it scared me, and I wouldn't let him do it again. They had to be content with the "smaller" rock.
And of course little sister was not about to be left behind. She was as brave as anyone, and jumped off over and over again.
We had such a good time with them and our daughter, Kelly. We stayed in a cabin, and they both enjoyed that experience. We played Simpsons Clue and Blackjack, and star-gazed in front of the cabin. That was a wonderful, unique experience for our little city dwellers. The sky was ink black, and there were millions of bright stars. They even saw a couple of shooting stars.
We are definitely planning to go back and stay longer. Garner State Park is near where we stayed, and looks like a lovely place to camp.
