Labor Day Weekend





Another great (long) weekend in West Virginia! There was us 3, Charlie & Ruth and their youngest son Sam and his friend Josh, Ralph and his daughter Emylee, his baby daughter Madison, his brother Rick, and Rick's son Jonathan. The kids unwisely challenged the oldsters to a game of volleyball, and were severely trounced not once, not twice, but three times in a row! Sure taught them cocky kids a lesson! Reminded us of our younger days playing in the sand at Assateague...

Sunday we took a canoe/kayak trip downriver, where Kip & I learned a valuable lesson ourselves. Rules are there for a reason, and when you break them, the consequences can sometimes be serious. Always wear your life vests!! We dumped our canoe in a rapid and got a little banged up. Could have been WAY worse, but was scary enough as it was. (Kip says the lesson he learned was never again let Mom steer the canoe! har har har)

Monday we relaxed in the river, right in front of the house. Blizzard got in a little swimming, too. Poor dog will have to get used to being alone all day again, now that school will be starting!
