A Saturday Outing


We've been enjoying a nice, quiet, family Saturday today! After a breakfast treat of eggs and bacon we decided to have an outdoors adventure before settling in to a movie and book reading.

Every day we hear trucks drive by our house carrying rafters and kayakers down the hill to launch for their adventure down the Nile. When we heard the squealing brakes today we quickly got our shoes on and hiked down the hill to watch. Jonathan had a lot of fun testing out his new gum boots in deep puddles (we've had a lot of rain yesterday and last night), and the kids enjoyed playing in a kayak as we watched the troops get organized.

Monday (the 27th) is our 7 year wedding anniversary, and guess what?! We (Phil and I) are going rafting on the Nile (level 5 rapids)! Watching today got us really excited!! Wish us luck!!

So, did you survive the Nile? We miss you, even if you didn't!

You didn't go rafting, you guys are totally in de-Nile. Happy late anniversary, we love you all.
