Day 5 of GBE, and the end of the season...maybe

"Our spot"

 Summer is waning, and although I am excited for the crisp autumn air, the yummy fall food, and getting to wear my favorite clogs and cardigans, I do hate to see our time at the river draw to a close.  Today was possibly our last day at the river and it was a beaut!!!  
 This is "our" spot and today, although we had to share our rocky beach with a few other people, we were not disappointed.  The air was still, which means the water was smooth, which means the Trev and Amber enjoyed some quality time on the wakeboard.

Kristin is always happy to get her dose of Vitamin D!

Loading up at the end of a pretty close to perfect day!  (My kids have been incapable all summer of just smiling in pictures!!  Drive me crazy!!)

And today, in a break with tradition, all 5 of us mounted the jet skis and headed downriver for a ride.  It wasn't terribly far, and we stopped for a bit to let the kids swim, but it was nice to just ride and enjoy the rocky walls lining the river on one side, and the farmland on the other.  I feel gratitude for the beautiful earth we live on, and the safe and free country we live in!!
