Barnes River trip

After our Hulcher river trip, we had to work Thursday/Friday, then off we went to the Piankatank for a weekend with the Barnes crew.  We were looking forward to cousin-time and getting to see Jake and Ali!  

Here's Fielder meeting Jake and Ali's new pup, Buddy:

 Terrible picture, but one of my favorite moments of the weekend.  Fielder and Jenna took turns giving each other foot massages!  Then they later played hospital and Fielder took good care of the sick patient.  They were adorable playing together.

Believe it or not, it was pretty chilly at the river!  With the breeze, I did not want to get wet, but it didn't stop the kids from jumping in for a swim.  It wasn't the best idea though with a fairly strong current and the boat drifting quickly....we eventually got everyone back on the boat and headed home.  They were able to play on the beach and swim a little more for the rest of the afternoon.

We had a nice dinner together, played with sparklers, and then we headed to the man cave to sleep!  (Gotta make it work for that many people to stay at the river!)  Sunday morning was beautiful, sunny with a breeze.  I went for a run and then we all headed back to the beach area to play and ride the jet ski before we had to go home.

Always nice to get everyone together!!  And so glad Alison is there to take these great photos!!
