When Michelle Jeffery's kids ask to go jump off the rocks, she said she knows right where they'll be going and it's somewhere between Phoenix and Eagle River. I'm thinking maybe 10 foot falls, but I'm not sure on this one, so I'll have to rely on our viewers to sleuth it out and say which spot we're visiting with the Jeffery family here today. No matter the name and exact location, these youngsters look like they're having a great time and look...no fancy beach toys, inner tubes or noodles to entertain them. Just good old fashioned fun. The kid's Grandma Anna made a comment that pretty much says it all..."It's great to see my grandkids enjoying the swimming hole I went to as a kid!"

Good to see happy kids having a good time!!

That is so awesome! I'd love to know where that is also. Wonder if the water was cold, though it doesn't look like it! That's some great summer fun!!

Do one’s nerve endings become more sensitive the older you get? Because my feet are freezing, just looking at these pics.
...and I agree, great summer fun!

Mine too, Alex! brrrr When I was a kid I liked to wade around the old swimming hole where my mom swam as a child...but I never learned to swim. :(

Wow...Michelle's little girl looks exactly like her! Great pics...I LOVE seeing kids that get to be kids!!!

Brings back great memories of us young boys swimming in small ponds along the Hungarian ad Quincy creeks in Hubbell and Mason.. We would hand fish and dip all on the same trip.

Looks like 10-Foot to me... used to swim there often as a kid.

Actually that swimming hole is usually warmer than the big lake. But that is not saying much.

We used to swim out at Bekkala's on the Traprock. That water was freezing too. When I was a kid, though, that never seemed to bother me. Now I go swimming in the local lake here with the water temps in the 80's and when it gets below that, I don't want to go in. Yet I'll swim in Lake Superior. Makes no sense other than it's almost a dare to get in that frigid water. Once you get used to it, it's not so bad :-)

Donna: I know Michelle and she does not have a daughter, she has 2 boys. Not sure who the girl is in the pictures.
