Floatin' Down the Delaware

This past Saturday Pat and I had so much fun
when our friends, Nate and Ashley,
invited us to go tubing down the Delaware river.

It was an all day event that was such a blast.
We had the time of our lives.
Nate and Ashley are our buds. We love hanging out with them!

We figured we floated for around 4 hours.
It was so nice to relax and just enjoy the sun and nature.

We did have the VERY occasional turbulence.
But this was as rough as it got and those were the exciting times.

Before we got to the river we stopped
and got some underwater cameras. It was exciting to go back
to the days of having to wait to get your film developed.

However, because of the casing on the underwater camera.
A lot of my pictures came our blurry like this one of us
eating lunch at the half way point.
They had picnic tables IN the water!

Pat, Ashley and I all lost our sunglasses in the river.
But on our way back Ashley saw a girl wearing
glasses just like the ones she lost. Nate went and
asked where she got them and
she found them in the river! So she got her glasses back!
Oh, the miracles on the Delaware!

A is for Adorable Ashley.

The water was SO warm! It was actually warmer in
the water than outside the water.

The river was SUPER shallow the whole time.
At any point you could stand up and have the water
go no higher than your chest.

Sometimes we would get separated from each other,
but the river was moving so slow that it didn't
take much effort to reconnect.

The weather was great, but I wish it was hotter.

Pat just being Pat.

At the end of the day when we were heading home
I turned to Pat and said
"Life is so good!
We have great friends,
live in a great city,
and you love your job.
Life doesn't get much better than this."
