One of the things I need to play "catch up" with is our trip to the River. My family has a little cottage along the Allegheny River in PA. I grew up skiing at the river for family vacations and on weekends. I got pretty good, too. I loved to slalom. It has been 9 years since I skied. So a marriage, three children, and 25 more lbs. later, I tried to ski again. OHHHHHH...it was WONDERFUL :)

The girls love riding the waves

This is how the river makes us all feel :)

Keep moving "Captain"
Thank you so much to my uncle tracy for getting the boat ready, and to my parents and other aunts and uncles for making this 4th of July at the river so wonderful.
Also...a big "shout out" to Stacey for skiing with me even when it was cold and almost dark out.
It's the things like that that show me how much you really love me :)
