Return of the River Rats!

This past weekend, the Red Sock River Rats were out in full force!

We haven't spent as much time there this year as we have in the past...

We had that huge tree fall and destroying much of our dock...

 

Requiring heavy equipment to remove...

 

And the flood this past winter/spring...

The boys' busy schedule...

Me getting to spend so much time with Locklan...

There is much work to be done, and to be honest, some of it will not happen this year,

we haven't even put the boat in the water yet.

But last weekend...we were ready to play!

Mr. K and I were the first to get there...

Well, not the very first, someone (who likes corn) got there first...

 

If you look carefully, you can see the handprint of the culprit!

 

 

Yes, someone with  thumbs!

 

Tony and Mindy came with their dogs...

 

 

 

Since we didn't have the boat in the water,

Tony and Mindy have been floating on rafts and kayaking.

 

I wanted to join in, so I ordered a raft of my own.

 

Mindy helped me

did all the work and got it blown up!

Of course, she had help...

 

It was pretty heavy...

 

And BIG!

 

As in VERY BIG!

I couldn't wait to try it out!

 

 

Yes, the river was ugly, the water was high...

But we still had a great time!

On Sunday, everyone headed back to the river, but Mr. K and I had tickets to see Mama Mia, and Ashley had to work.

 but Andy and Locklan, Tony and Mindy, and My brother-in-law, Mike and his son Tyler were there.

Locklan and Mindy enjoyed 'Grandma's Duck' ...

But he didn't last long...

 

Nap time!

 

But floating on the water does that to me too!

 

Tyler pitched in and cut the grass...

 

Which earned him the right to a float on the swan.

He declined, but did test it out on land...

He also brought his drone and took these dynamite photos of camp...

 

 

You can see that our dock (short dock in center of photo) isn't all done...

 

But we'll take what we can get!  I love our camp on the river!

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
