Why, you ask?
Well, in past years the kids and were always left at home while the Mr. took the river with all of his buddies and had an out of control weekend full of drinking, staying up too late, and partying way too hard. I understood why this was not a kid friendly enviroment, and went with it, letting him go for a "guys weekend" away.
But this year I decided I was getting tired of being left behind with the kids, and something needed to change, and change it did.
We decided to tie up with a different group of boaters this year. Ones that were less likely to be doing beer bongs off the top of their boats, screaming curse words back and forth at each other and mooning and or flashing whoever happened upon their boat. The kind of people who are more kid friendly in nature.
And I do have to say, it went very well. We are all very tired, still recovering from all of the festivities, and trying to get rid of these horrible "sea legs". But it was all well worth it.
Some pictures for your viewing pleasure:
Kids jumping into the new giant floaty Daddy bought. Great investment if I do say so myself...
Lucas playing on the boat before bedtime....
The every humorous swan paddle boat that one of the boaters had....
Another view from the back of our boat....
Mommy and Liv enjoying the sun....
Liv loving the fact that she got her very first tattoo. Yep, a tattoo AND licorice, all in one weekend!
A closer look at her tattoo....
Relaxing in Mom's chair - which turned out to be her favorite place to hang all weekend long...

The End.
