After about a week, we fizzled on the unpacking and tried to make the most of the summer before it slipped away!!! I wasn't getting much done during the day with Leevi at work since daily chores and summer playtime couldn't be ignored anymore. We checked out the other local pool...this one is in St. Robert vs on post! They both have things that the kids enjoy equally, but we found ourselves more often at this one throughout the summer!
The weekend after the 4th, we ignored the house some more and took off to the Ozarks for the day (about a 45 min drive)
We rented a boat for about 2 hrs and cruised the lake! The last time we were here was 13 yrs ago when Leevi was at his Officer Career Course and we were still dating!
Since I don't know how to drive a boat, I was the tubing partner for each of the kids! It was all fun and games until Kai and I got stuck in the wake of the boat and I had a horrible wipe out! SOMEHOW Kai stayed on the float, but I flipped and hit the water really hard and injured by back. It was a solid 6 weeks before it stopped hurting (I'm getting OLD!!!) No more tubing until we buy one where you can sit and has back support! :)
I still went out there with Luke though...Leevi just knew to go extra, extra slow!
There are two main rivers running through the area, the Roubidoux and the Gasconades, and each have countless great banks to wade in.
More pics to come on the fun fishing spots we've found on the weekends!
Somehow she snagged this little minnow as she was reeling in her line!
