We get up and the kids play a little while we get ready for a day on the river. The kids usually do a craft or just play in the kiddie pool or just run from camper to camper. This year the girls made Tie Dye shirts. Abby wouldn't wear hers because all she wanted to do was wear her swimsuit. She came walking out of the camper one morning with her purse, glasses and cell phone strutting around and saying she is ready to go. Everyone had a good laugh at her.
We head down to the river during the late morning and swim and boat all day. Brother and Sister Rockafellor joined us this year and we got to cruise around on the pantone boat so we could all go at once. The kids loved having them there and Abby kept calling them Grandma and Grandpa.
The kids also got to do a little fishing. Blake was pretty excited to give it a try. They ended up catching a catfish and then we let it go.

It was super relaxing just floating around in the water. The weather was perfect. Abby even took a nap on the kayak ride with Daddy.
Late in the afternoon we would go up for a lunch and the kids would play with water balloons they had filled all morning.
At night we would BBQ and play games together. We taught the Tanners how to play Grandma Newbold's candy bar game.
The kids went out a lot on the Monster Tube. It took Madison awhile but she finally decided to go and Leanne is the only one who she would go with. Hailey and Karis loved it the most and got very daring and did a few little tricks while being pulled.
The kids also loved jumping in the middle of the river. Abby even gave it a try. She did want to do it again after the first time though.
After boating for two days straight and being up late. Hailey got a little sea sick. It didn't take her very long to get better and then she was ready to get back on the tube.
The girls loved washing their hair in the outdoor shower and being able to take care of Abby. Abby loved all the attention and didn't mind them shampooing her hair one bit.
We had a great time at the river with some great friends. 
Everyone is always so sad to say goodbye! Thanks to the Tanners and Rockafellors for such a good time.
We really love our relaxing river trip! It is a great way to start the summer!
