River Day! all about relaxation

Well, we finally did it- we took a day off! I mentioned before, i feel like we have been moving for 4 weeks now. Every weekend we moved "stuff" around -to and from storage to the yard sale and then to the church, glad that's over. So we actually planned a day at the river for Saturday. Ray, Brandie and kids came in late Friday night. We got up and packed a lunch and took off for the river. We ended up at Mayflower Park (6th Ave) and got a picnic cabana with access to a little beach area. We set up the easy-up, launched the sea-doo and we were good to go. It was only 100 degrees, so it was hot enough to appreciate the river but not too hot to sit out in it. We perched the chairs in waist deep and just kicked it. I actually borrowed Linda's copy of "Twilight" and got into some serious reading. We took turns taking kids for rides on the sea-doo and see who could "spray" the group the most. We just about had the river to ourselves and that's the way I like it. So, after 7 years of owning a sea-doo, for only the 2nd time, I actually took it out myself (with Faith and Robert). I am actually afraid of the river because of it's low spots, sand bars and just the other boats and crafts riding, but this was a perfect day for me to ride. The guys all played some boccie ball and did some not-too-serious fishing also. It was a great day. We went home, jumped in the pool for awhile and then barbecued some ribs. We celebrated little Robert's 6th birthday. If only every weekend could be so simple!
