Now I get it! THIS is what people do in the summer when they’re not huge-pregnant or nursing tiny babies
It’s been so long that I totally forgot…………..this picture might not be perfect, but it’s the best representation of our wonderful, excellent, lovely, beautiful, etc day on the river with the kids. We live right by the Mississippi and used to LIVE on the river in the summer before we had kids.
After today, I think we might be able to start working our way back up to river-rat status - it. was. heaven.
No one fell in, Mags actually tubed with her cousins, lots of seashells found on the beach (she thought we were at the ocean, who’s going to deny her that excitement? Surely not me!). Only one minor injury resulting in a shiner on the little man, but that’s pretty typical even of a day at home, so it doesn’t count.
Now to start saving for a boat…………..after JUST selling one because we never used it.
This whole mommy gig might not be so bad after all!
