River Rats!!!

Every summer we pack up the family and head out to the river.  Some people can't believe that we find 115 degree weather relaxing, but we love it!! And we are definitely raising quite the river rat.  Bella absolutely loves the river and we have to pull her out of the water, rarely does she get out willingly. This year she was finally big enough to be pulled on a tube by the boat, Mike didn't drive too fast but she still had a blast.  This year we were fortunate to spend our river days with family and close friends. Summer is not complete without some days of floating around on rafts and having fun on the boat.  And we have one more trip planned in September and we are already counting down the days!

Bella trying to stay on her raft and float like mommy.

 She loves the water!

 Mike wakeboarding...too bad it was soooo windy and he couldn't wake board long.

 Auntie Lindsey and Bella.  She was squirting everybody with those squirt guns, but thank goodness it was 110 and felt so good!

 Bella and Renee on the waverunner

 Bella is ready for the tube....

 and she is off.

 She brought Renee on for a ride

 Bella would stare at these hats EVERY time we walked past this store in the hotel, so we finally had a fashion show :)
