we had another fun thursday with the girls. dave and i found a new spot on the green river that is really rad. it’s a bit steep to get down to, but the girls were amazing- well ella was dead asleep in my arms, so my trusty flip flops and dave’s hand helped us down… but nonetheless they were troopers. ella slept the whole time in the 90 degree weather, drenching my dress and the whole side of her head. bless her heart she was very hot, but too tired to care. lily, chloe and dave dug chloe and lily into the ground and got sand everywhere. dave found his goggles before we left and he and the big girls went scouting. they actually found a shopping cart at the bottom of the river! we tried to talk dave into pulling it out, but i guess it was really stuck and the currant was pretty strong. so best he didn’t do it.
we changed the girls at the beach (that was fun!) and carted them off to their mom’s. both lily and ella had a hard time saying bye. it’s bittersweet really, it’s nice to feel loved, but it’s tears us up seeing them sad. we remind them they can call us anytime… and we drive off.
dave and i have another event filled weekend. his mother’s side of the family is having their family reunion this weekend. many of dave’s family members he hasn’t seen in years… and i mean years. i think he’s very excited to reconnect and to have me meet a lot of people that i won’t have another chance soon to meet. so we’re headed over the mountains this afternoon to meet up with his sister and her family for tonight and then the rest of the family will start trickling in tomorrow morning. we will maybe stay the night saturday or come home in the evening. my older brother is also in town this weekend from la! hooray for family! dave and i would also like to float the river on sunday, wrapping up our weekend at my ma’s for dinner. should be busy… should be fun.
hope all is well… love to you and yours.
happy sunshine.
