Another trip to the river!

We had another great stay at the river. This time it was during the week because both my mom and dad were off work. We can never go up without them there because we don't have a toilet and we don't really have any way of cooking unless all we do is grill. Plus, what fun is it if we are up there by ourselves?! We are so lucky to have them to hang out with once-in-a-while!

One of the days was unbearably hot. We decided that we were either going to have to go home or take a swim in the river. We put our kids down for naps and then got our suits on. The water was pretty chilly and we knew the only way we were going in was to jump. So we took a run for it off the end of the dock and jumped right in. It was heavenly! We had to get a rope and hook it up to one of the boats so we didn't float down the river. Austin even got in with us after some serious convincing! And after about an hour I heard Kezzie get up and decided to let her come in with us too. Mom lowered her down off the side of the dock and she LOVED it! We only stayed in another 15 minutes or so because Kezzie was looking mighty chilly! Another great childhood memory relived! It didn't take long for us to get hot again that's for sure! So that night we decided we were turning on the air. Mom and dad turned it on in their camper and also turned it on in their old camper where Jamie was sleeping with Rylan. Austin stayed in with mom and dad on the couch and Me and the girls squeezed in with Jamie. We slept so well that night! And actually stayed in there the rest of our time there!

I was pleasantly surprised (as was Austin) when my cousin DeLila and her three kids showed up (the twins are Austin's age). She just graduated from college and starts her new job the next week. It was so wonderful getting to see her and hang out with her! I don't get to see her often enough!

We even got to see my grandma before we left Thursday morn. She came Wednesday afternoon. Kezzie enjoys her company and even got to go out on the dock and do a little 'fishing' with her! Adah still isn't sure of her but she isn't really sure of anybody except mommy and daddy right now! What a fantastic time...not sure when we will get back up there again this year so it was great to be there. I cherish it every time...even when it feels like 100 degrees!
