Fun at the River!

Nick's aunt and uncle have a place in Prairie du Chien by the Mississippi River and we were able to go up there today to have fun on the beach.  The boys were amazing!!!  They both loved the water and they spent the whole day wowing us with their courage and independence.  They even got their very first jet ski ride courtesy of cousin Brandon!  Conner loved the jet ski!



Ben's turn was a little shorter because as soon as Brandon took off, Ben wanted him to stop!



Aunt Jen entertained the troops in the tube and then the boys got to go for a couple of boat rides while the older kids tubed!


We had such a great time!!!  It was amazing to watch the boys have so much fun in the water and be able to just sit on the beach and enjoy the sunshine!  We definitely will have to do that more often!  Thanks Uncle Paul, Aunt Jen and Brandon, Molly, and Austin!  (Plus, it was the easiest bedtime we have ever had with the boys!  They were so exhuasted, we just transferred them from the van to their beds!)
