A day on the Mississippi

Yesterday we finally made it out on the river with our neighbors! We have been trying to schedule this the entire summer, but everyone's schedules never seem to match up. Saturday night we were out and about and someone suggested it and of course since it was planned last minute, all 5 families were able to go!

We basically just boated out to a beach and spent the day there at the beach building sand castles, reminding kids to keep their life jackets on, eating lunch and talking. There were a couple side boat trips to get some tubing in too! Max and Mya even got a chance to tube for the first time! Believe it or not, Max loved it and Mya wasn't a fan. Our neighbors have a kid friendly tube that you can sit up with a back and is virtually impossible to be thrown from. Mya kept saying "all done" and "home" so her ride didn't last more than 2 minutes:)

We got home around 4 so we decided to skip naps for both kids so that they weren't up until all hours of the night. Max was so tired he kept running into things randomly, but Mya manged a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th wind! They were both in bed by 7:15 and right now it's 7:45 a.m. and Max is still sleeping! He definitely needed it I guess!

Yep, the potty picture is the best! Isn't it funny how you can plan and plan, but the most fun comes out of spontaneous things? I need to live by that theory in my life more often and stop planning so much! :)
