Fishing Bay

Our friend Paul has a river house in his family. Since no one was using it, he invited us, the Hubards, and the Kinerary's to come down for the weekend. Paul was dying to take the boys out on his sailboat and we girls were just happy to get out of Richmond for the weekend. There were 8 adults and 9 children under the age of 4! Believe it or not, it was a relaxing and awesome weekend! The children were well behaved and went to bed early and allowed the adults some alone time. We grilled out, picked crabs, and had great conversations. It was the perfect weekend. Thanks Paul and Alison!!!!!

Our family didn't go down until Saturday because Becca had a "wicked" double ear infection as Dr. Wiley put it. Thursday night, Becca and I got no sleep. She cried all night.

Here is my little man Jack ready to play!
Becca and Taylor were not to sure of the river.
Jack hanging out with me. You can't see it but he has about 20 caterpillars in his bucket. At one time, he let 5-6 crawl all over him. It was all I could do to not be freaked out! :)
Molly and Sam went out on the sailboat with the boys and Jack had to stay behind. We had fun playing together.
Chasing the ball. The water was shallow so we kicked to ball out into the water and took turns running after it. (a game he made up)



Molly, Jack, and Sam cleaning up before dinner. Sunday on the beach area. Molly and Mattie.
Jack and Sam.
Paul pulled this boat out and let the kids go for rides. Jack was not sure about it at first, there were many tears. Knox and Scott took Molly, Jack and Sam for a long ride.



We had such a great weekend. Scott and I have decided we need to make our dream of owning a river house a reality. We will see... maybe one day!

Jenni, you have such a beautiful family. It looks and sounds like you guys had a great time at the river. It seems like such a long time ago since I did stuff like this with little ones. Lucky you! Your little man, Jack, is so cute. What a smile!
Love,
Sharon

Jenni, talk about a family of blondes! Of course, theirs isn't Preference, by Loreal. Thank goodness your children get to go places and learn things, rather than watching TV like other kids do. When y'all get to Nevada, they will see so many wonders. I can't wait. Love, Helen
