The River Family Vacation

We drove out to the River late Monday night.  We were so happy to arrive.  The weather has been great.  Only 105 to 107, and when we are playing in the 78 degree water it feels perfect. We love to come up here and spend time as a family.  We have been swimming, sleeping, stand up paddling, wave-running, and wake surfing.  This weekend all the guy cousins came up for a weekend trip.  JB has had so much fun golfing, watching movies, shooting the potato gun, and wake-surfing behind Barrett's boat with all the boys. 

Here is a picture of CJ playing on the patio with his boats. 
Here's Daddy with the kids, and the yummy home-made pizza.
Loving the pizza!
Mommy and the kids.
Playing on the surfboard.
Happy boys.

There was a beautiful sunset Tuesday night, M looked so cute on the dock in her new swimsuit, I had to snap a couple shots.


JB and one of the fish he caught. This bass was huge, about 20 inches. We looked online to see how old he was, and learned that he was probably close to 15 years old.


The boys club next door.
