River Rat??

OK, so those of you who know me well will know what I think of river water. I think it is absolutely disgusting for swimming in. I've seen some things floating down past the river house in the water and let me tell ya, it's not pretty. 


I love the river for fishing, catching some sun, and the scenery. The pic you are about to see below is RARE. Really really rare. This weekend we loaded up and went to the river with some friends and decided to take a long boat ride. In this 106 degree weather I was left no choice.....

It was so hot and humid out there that I just had to climb in that water! This is also a proud moment for Nathan too because he takes after me - he doesn't really like the water. We've been working on trying to get him to learn how to swim. This moment was monumental for both of us. :)

This little lady on the other hand, would not get OUT of the water. She absolutely loved it. 
So...am I a "river rat" as they say? Probably not so much, but Lacey sure is.
