MEMORIAL DAY 2005 at the river

Memorial Day 2005- It was cloudy and we couldn't find anyone to go with us to the river. We bought a new tube and new life jackets...now we're 'good to go' ! The kids didn't care about the clouds or rain. All of us wanted to get away from the house to relax.

We made a "pit stop", so Jessica and Brent played Rock, Paper, Scissors. I bet they're deciding who's falling off first!

They're having a blast!!! It was a busy day at the river.

Jessica is confident she won't fall. I tried to get Steve to speed up, but it didn't work.

I think they were using velcro to keep themselves on the tube.

They're tired, but they don't want to stop riding. We were pulling them while heading towards the dock.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY FOR THE PREACHER MAN!

A DAY FOR JUMPERS!!!

jUmPeRs!!! What kid doesn't like jumpers? The 4th grade teachers wanted to give the kids an "End Of The Year Party".

I brought our Alabama canopy for the teachers, but it seemed the kids enjoyed the shade more.
