River Run

Saturday morning we got up & headed to the river for some much needed relaxation. Averly did not sleep a wink Friday night so we were all exhausted. I didn’t bring my pack ‘n play to Brooke & Josh’s thinking I would use the one she had there. It ended up being so late that she fell asleep in the bed we slept in. I didn’t move her, but I so wish I did. She is a princess in all meanings of the word! Baby Girl loves her sleep & wants to be in her own bed. Not crowded snuggled up with anyone. She would sleep for 30 minutes or so, then scream & throw a fit. All night pattern. I think she was ready to get out on the water too!

The next morning she woke up smiling & all happy, much to my surprise.

She helped us pack up the cooler before we left.

Off to the river we go! Averly already had sleepy eyes on the 10 minute drive to put the boat in.

This was Riley & Averly’s first time on a big boat. Riley has gone out on my dad’s fishing boat once before but he didn’t quite know what to think & was a little scared at first. It didn’t take him long to warm up to it & then he had a ball!

We weren’t on the water for 5 minutes before Averly was out!

But she woke up not long after we picked up my mom & dad. She was excited to see her Bubba & Vivi.

Poor things, I forgot their hats & sunglasses so they’re either squinting or their eyes are closed in every picture.

We even did a little fishing. Riley got such a kick out of petting the fish. I love this picture of him kissing the fishy.

Averly having a quick snack to wake her up. She was so sleepy all day.

We met up with some friends later on that afternoon. Riley was so happy to have a friend to play with. He just loves Connor! Aren’t they so cute?!

I am already ready to be back at the river! Heck, I’m just ready to see some sun instead of all this rain we are getting. Blah.
