We Are...The River People

We headed out to the river again this year with our friends, the Derosas and the Castillos.  Actually, this year there were more than 20 of us in the whole party.  As soon as we arrived, we got settled in our trailer, and headed out to the beach!  Charlie was so excited to put on her new suit and hat!  What a cutie.
 A good shot of the Malibu!

Ryan, Charlie and I were on the Castillo's boat for this outting!  Charlie continued her extreme tubing this year.  Ryan, who was very timid last year, certainly stepped up her game on the tube!  She loves it now and wanted to keep going faster!

 Brave Ryan tried kneeboarding this year!
 ... And was successful!  Yeah Ryan!
 Extreme Tubing Time

 The ladies talkin' Girl Talk at the Sandbar
 hangin' on the boat... a little break from the sun
 Charlie, what kind of smile is that?
 A perfect afternoon!
 More Girl Talk
 "What's up people?"  (as Charlie says!)
 Shelley and Genny
 Tony and Brandon
 Shhh... the grown ups got away for a bucket at the bar!
(We love, love, love that Ally is old enough to babysit the kiddos now!!)
 All the couples:
Jen and Ernie Castillo
 Genny and Tony Derosa
 And us...
I can't believe we spend FIVE days at the river!  This is the longest vacation that Steve has taken since we were married!  He got a lot of sleep and hopefully we all rejuvenated ourselves for the upcoming school year and fall sports season!
