Floatin' 2010...

...well, we made it home and survived another year of floating on the Niangua River. I love this float trip! It's an annual one with some of my sorority sisters, their spouses, friends we've met along the way and all the other random people on the river. It's now turned into the once a year we see this group which makes me sad but it just makes us enjoy every single moment of the trip.

Here are the boys on Friday evening hanging out at the camp site, Matt and Jason (both landscapers so they always have something to talk about):
The float trip is always a great time but you have to be sure to pace yourself, otherwise you'll wake up like this (Happy birthday 'Cole!), this is my sorority sister/girl that raised me in college on Saturday AM:Random info about the float trip:

*We were on the river at 9:30am and didn't get off until 7pm. It is safe to say that I am fried as in bright, neon red.
*I got ice cream from an ice cream truck! Yes, the ice cream man drove down to the river to make some sells. He was even up for some bartering...Jello shots, beers, you name it and he'd bargain.
*The orange shirt group whose shirts said, "Emergency Services Annual Float" were there again. I found out they are from Lake of the Ozarks. If I'm ever in Lake of the Ozarks and I see one of them, I may very well have to kick their behinds. They are the most obnoxious group of people...EVERY YEAR!!! They buy this huge water guns and spray people. Okay, ha ha, funny the first time or two but ALL day when I don't even know you-stop! Then when you start spraying inside my canoe/raft and trying to tip it-not cool!
*Always interesting sites on the river, this year's most interesting: a couple floating down the river on their blow up mattress...

Matt and I got home, unloaded the car and started working around the house once we got back. I was on the phone with my friend Candace when she started freaking out and told me she'd call me back. About five minutes later, she calls me and she'd somehow scraped/cut her toe and it was bleeding nonstop. Poor girl was home alone with baby Colin! She was trying to load him up and go to the hospital to have it looked at. I called our friend who was closer than me to meet her at the hospital to help out with the little man and tried to get a hold of her husband for her.

Man, it was a crazy weekend...it's been a crazy week...so much crazy, random stuff going on. I REALLY need a weekend for my weekend! Hope yours was just as much fun as mine.
