Forgive me for the time hop, but I've skipped a lot of fun adventures the past few months that I want to remember in the future. This year, Ryan couldn't join us for the cabin, but we had the next best thing... the Thalmans! Robert had to work too, so Kim drove up with the kids. It was PERFECT. The girls had best friends to play with. That first night, we thought they'd never go to sleep.
We kayaked down the river. I took Willa in a double kayak, Kim took Bridgett, but then Abby took a single kayak and my dad was supposed to stay right with her in case she needed help, but he got distracted talking to people as we pushed into the river and so he didn't catch up with us until we were halfway through and past all the rough patches. Typical, if you know my dad and how friendly he is with everyone and also how oblivious he is to time :).
We pulled out the mega tube, which is always an effort. The girls went without June earlier, this time she wanted to go...and lasted about three minutes. Willa wanted to get off too, and then my dad could really whip Bridgett and Abby around without the two scaredy-cats on board.
On a cool day, we went and fed the fish at Big Springs and took a small nature walk. The weather was on the cooler side, but we did have one or two nice hot days for the boat.
The whole group as we were packing up and getting ready to head out. Kudos to Kim for driving back to Vegas on her own with three kids! It was a great, great trip, as usual. My girls were a lot more daring this year - they liked the four-wheelers, did the wave-runners and the boat with few complaints and sometimes even begged for them.
