River Trip 08

We were lucky enough to spend the past week in Parker AZ with our favorite family the Farrers. We had such a great time!!! but we missed Robbie who couldn't come. The week started with a bang -the kids love to go riding around on the golf carts and Tristen was unlucky this trip and the recipient of a messed up foot. Apparently Danica drove over her foot!?! and so you can see the pics. She was fine, received a ton of sympathy and got to hang out on Day 2 in the rocker with the laptop watching movies. She was waited on hand and foot until she could stand it no longer and decided to join the world of fun in the sun and go out on the water. Dad carried her to the boat for a ride and that was the end of that. On day 2 the fridge broke - so Stevan and RJ went into town to buy a fridge and then had to carry it inside and over the table as it wouldn't fit through the space in the kitchen. So with a new fridge and accidents behind us we got on to the more important things in life - watersports. We went tubing and wake surfing( which I tried and got up). The boys would wake up at 5am every morning and go wake surfing. This entails everyone on board sitting on top of each other in the rear corner of the boat so that a huge wake trails the boat and you surf behind the boat. Mason did great even though there are no pics of him smiling. On one trip - which I happened to be on - we ran out of gas :( We also had no flag on board - thanks Danica - so we used Danica's orange A&F shirt with RJ's makeshift gas checker stick to fashion a flag. I guess we should have used the stick to check the gas level huh!?! Well - we got a tow to the Indian casino and RJ hitched a ride to the gas station so we could make it back. Fun times. So in all we had the best time ever - who wouldn't with bowling, dart playing, tetris playing, mario brothers old skool, Dr. Skipper by the case, EL Fudge, sleeping in till who knows when , watching pirated movies and Debby cooking for us!!!!! We love the Farrers and can't wait for our next week long trip.......
