We spent the last few days at the river with my family this time. My mom, Melody and the boys, Nicole, Mike and Adelyn all came too. It was fun watching Charlie splash around in the water with all her favorite people. Charlie is so brave...she will walk right out into the river lagoon until the water is up to her lower lip and she is standing on her tippy toes. It is a bit scary! Jimmy and I decided next trip we need to teach her that she needs to ask us to go into the water. Ha ha...we can dream! She loves finding rocks and throwing them, shoveling up the dirt/sand, drinking river water (GROSS), riding on the coolest floats ever (thanks Alex and Evan for donating them), sitting in the golf cart and eating chips all day long. Charlie had two firsts at the river this time. First, I took her on the boob tube behind the boat in Havasu. It lasted for about 2 minutes because I was so scared we were going to tip over. Maybe next year I won't be so scared! Second, she went on her first sea-doo ride with Daddy. Because of the life vest, she didn't enjoy it too much. As soon as she is 30 pounds she can wear the life vest that isn't so uncomfortable. Charlie woke everybody up every morning. Grandma would always be eating donuts at the kitchen table when she woke up. On the last morning she popped right up from bed to play peek-a-boo with her at the table - but she wasn't there! It was so funny. Thanks everyone for coming to the river with us. It was so much fun! And thanks Jim for letting my family borrow your amazing river home!
