Cruising on the river

While Adam and Cara were in town we set out on the Mississippi for a day of boating.  Unfortunately it was 100 degrees + that day which made fishing pretty much impossible.  As long as we were moving or stopping at a sand bar and enjoying the cool water we were okay.  Colin and I headed back home early, but we sure had a good time.  I think we may need to get a boat at some point, the boys just loved it!

Due to all the 4th of July fun the day before, the ride started out a little hairy.....Owen was already starting to fall asleep....and I let him sleep in till 9 am.

He didn't quite fall asleep, but crawled by Adam to help co-captain the boat.

Just cruising along, Adam enjoyed being our captain

Buppa Dan-o enjoyed sometime relaxing

Owen was thrilled to see a train.....he absolutely loves trains

And this sweet little boy took such a sweet little nap.  I think he liked the hum of the motor and the slight rocking.

Owen and Cara looking for boats

He looks scared, but he really liked swimming in the river, despite it being very deep close to shore.  His favorite part was running into the water and knocking mommy over.  It was so hot that she didn't mind at all ;-)



Colin was having a wonderful time putting his tootsies in the water.....

and then a wave came when mommy wasn't paying attention and taking pictures

Then he wasn't too sure about it the water, so playing with grandma was a much better idea.  A few cocktails were perfect on such a warm day.....and some yummy snacks and lunch prepared by Punkin.....Thanks mom!


Brave boy in the water!

Making a castle with Uncle Adam.....we are still hearing about the sand castle that Adam made

And last, the "kids" driving the boat.  It was really nice to have them here, and very nice to finally meet Cara.
