Ocoee River


The Ocoee River- site of the 1996 Olympics for kayaking...and only 20 miles from our house! We loved going there before we had Rody...swimming in the rapids, hiking, etc. Today, we took Rody for the first time!



There was a lot of activity on the river today- mostly whitewater rafting...which we watched...watched people fall out of the boat--it was great.


We stopped on the way to eat a little picnic lunch--if you look closely, you'll see the chick-fil-a wrappers..that is my kind of picnic!




We (and by "we" I mean Randy) stipped the jeep down since it was a high of 80 degrees today! what a nice heat break at the end of July!!!

Rody enjoyed it too!


And this is the part of my post where the pics did not load properly....whatever, I'm over it...so, you know the drill, drop your head down and to the left...

Rody really did enjoy it...he just wanted to go see the ginormous dalmation looking great dane that was hooked up behind me...

Nice man who owns the dog took this pic...



A great day for the monkey...he would take off and jump in the river if not attached to the monkey...who is inevitably attached to one of us!



Rody had no nap today....so a cranky boy indeed. We got home, I fixed a quick dinner, then we went to the park with friends....and then got some flavored ice (which for some reason is a HUGE craving of mine at the moment), and then came home and did an early bath and bed time.


Good night.

Looks like SOOO much fun! I love that y'all had the top off the jeep with Rody in the back. He must have had a blast!

Gotta love the monkey leash!!
