    1. Thanks! Some much needed adventure for all of us, just barely enough excitement for the big boys, I think. They, and Mindy, like it pretty wild. Fun to see her grinning ear to ear, the inflatable responded well to her paddling through the rapids...so exciting. Made us wonder why it took us so long to get on the river!

      I probably won't see Sanderson's in Greece, except for Lisa, of course. Have been looking at pictures of very blue water...and scrub brush islands and inlets with clear blue water. Getting excited!

  3. Glad you had the opportunity to get together - yes that is what makes memories! So happy for the times I have had with you all this year too. :)

    Great pictures. Fun to see the baby growing up so quick. They do that, don't they...

    Be safe on your trip and have a blast!
