River Trip

Our kids grew up going to the river.  It was a really special time for us, and we hope to be able to share these times with the grandbabies, too!  Maddie has been a few times, but this was the first time for both Lillian and Reed.  All are now hooked! There's just something about being on the water!

All smiles as we head down the river!  They enjoyed helping Pop drive!

This cutie had a ball!

And so did these two! Pop looks pretty happy, too!

After a boat ride, we stopped and played on a sandbar for a while.

We also enjoyed a little picnic lunch in the boat.

Then we played a little bit more!  I happened to pull up the radar and noticed some pretty big storms headed our way.  Pop decided we better head back.

So, we loaded these cuties up and headed toward the landing.  

We had a near perfect day!  As we are riding down the river enjoying the ride, suddenly the boat makes a hiccup sound and quits!  I mean just quits!!  After working on it for a while, Pop pulled out the paddle and we slowly headed down stream.  He handed me his phone and told me to text some friends that we hoped were nearby.  I am happy to report that there are still some really good people in this world.  All 4 responded, and one sweet friend was able to be there rather quickly, with another on standby!  

I might also add that the kids were real troopers during the entire adventure, AND the storm held off until we made it almost home!!
