Back to the River

Ryan took Friday off a couple weeks ago so we could spend a long weekend at Lindsay and Randall's river house. This is the third summer in a row we have spent time there and it is soooooo fun.
The kids had lots to do like checking out the water,

and throwing rocks (probably the most popular kid activity).
Ryan and the big people (except for big, fat, pregnant me) spent a lot of time wake-boarding and wake-surfing.
We also got to ride around on pretty much every kind of recreational vehicle imaginable.
Ryan took the kids out one at a time on a jetski. He even let Gwen drive and said they were going like 60mph the whole time because she didn't know how to let off the gas.

Presents

Lately, Gwen's been really into gift giving. This was her present for me the other day when I got out of the shower. I especially loved the crinkled roll of wrapping paper that got thrown in the trash after I got to see my present. But it's the thought that counts, and Gwen's certainly very thoughtful.

SeaWorld

We dropped in and got SeaWorld passes - it's just 15 minutes from where we live. The kids actually really love it. Gwen loves the dolphin show, but not for the dolphins doing triple backflips; the highlight for her is the girl who wears the pink dress that turns into a pink wetsuit. She spends the entire half hour on the lookout for her.
Of course, we like Shamu too, but there's no pink dress girl so he's not as big of an attraction.

Unknown to me when we got our passes, SeaWorld has some pretty fun rides; and an entire kids' play area which is great as long as it's not too crowded.

The End.

Nutrients

I finally found prenatal vitamins that don't make me want to puke. Why didn't anyone ever tell me these were available in candy form? huh?

Yes, for those of you who I haven't told (which includes pretty much everyone), I am pregnant again. It's a boy.
