whobody rocked the river?

Yesterday was Thursday.

Yesterday was HOT!

Yesterday was a school day.

Yesterday was Lola's FIRST day of preschool.

Yesterday was the 4th day of a very long first full week of school for Keaton.

Yesterday was the perfect day for the river.

We have a boat. We love our boat. We love going on the river! The only problem is that this summer the river was SO HIGH and swift that we only got the kids out to the sandbar 1 time.  We fixed that last night...now we turned it into 2 times....but I think that will be it. The river has finally gone down...so we had a PERFECT night on the river. Because I am prego and huge and uncomfortable and tired...I pretty much sat on a chair in the water the whole night and took photos of the kids playing on the river.  275 pictures later...here I am. (Needless to say....I will be splitting this into a few posts.)

Our children always learn the basics of being on the river at a very young age.

Rule #1 Wave at every boat you see (even the parked ones.)

When we got to the sandbar, the kids had a blast...they love looking for clams...throwing the closed live ones into the deeper part of the river...and 'saving' the opened clam shells in a bucket.

I just LOVE this picture...notice Nash's hand on Lola's leg. LOVE IT!

 This is a picture of Lola "jumping" into Keaton's pool.  You will see more pictures of this pool later!

 Ahhh....a great shot of all 3 kids!!!!  Happy as can be.

 Jason obviously needs a lot of help driving the boat.

The river is something we truly enjoy. Our boat is mostly used for just Jason and I and our friends....but as the kids get older we hope to use it more and more for family time!  We are so blessed!
