River Trip

We had a great river trip down the Dan River last Saturday. Grandma Jarrell wanted a river trip for her birthday, so that's what we did! About halfway down, we sang Happy Birthday to Grandma J. and Cory, whose b-day was Aug. 2. We took snacks and got to the part of the river that is deep and slow and circled our tubes around for a little picnic as we floated along. Ian was so cute as he slept for about the first 45 minutes to an hour in his tube. He had gone to sleep just before we put on, but he stayed asleep as we put on his life jacket and tied his tube to Kristen's. One of my favorite parts was when we were all tied together and got stuck trying to go between some rocks and dammed up the river! :0 It was all a lot of fun!!
