Yesterday we sadly realized that summer is coming to an end....so we got out my handy dandy notebook, with lists upon lists...and found the list of "things we want to do this summer". We looked at the list, and found that we had only missed one thing on the list (well, 2, but who is counting)...."ride on the Cassville Ferry".
After Nash woke up from his nap, we loaded the kids in the car and told them we were going for a drive. I referred to it as a "Sunday Funday Drive" one time, and Lola took it from there. :) We went to Subway and then headed south out of Guttenberg. Instantly Keaton said "Are we going on the ferry you drive your car on?" we said "Do you want to?" of course they said "Yeah!!!"
When we pulled up to the landing the ferry was JUST pulling away. "AUGH!" Oh well, that just meant we had 30 to 40 minutes to run around on the gravel beach...and throw rocks in the river.
Keaton loved throwing the rocks!
Nash LOVED the trains going by on the other side of the river and kept yelling...
"THERE IT IS!"
"THERE IT IS!!!!"
"THERE IT IS!!!!!"
Lola posing for pics....
"Mom, how is this one?"
"How about this?"
The kids actually throwing rocks...it was a long wait for the ferry, but we had lots of fun!
We are finally on the ferry...and were the only ones so we had the full attention of the attendant!
The kids eating their tootsie roll treat from the attendant...and being surprised at the ferry driver honking at them!
Family picture: Lola was the only one who "dressed up" for the evening. :)
Nash trying to escape the ferry (not really, but loved to try to climb the fence...we obviously stopped this)
When we got to Cassville we just played at the playgrounds along the river! There are 2 really nice playgrounds and the kids had a BLAST!
We stopped at a gas station and got the kiddos some gummy bears for the trip home!
It was a great night!
