We had one of the best "play date" yesterday with Sommer and Pete at Blue Springs. Honestly, each time we go out "playing" with them, it's always fun. We were in the Blue Springs enjoying the cold water (I think the water is about 20 degs) and the hot sun (oh yes, I did coat myself with sunblock before I even stepped out of the sun).
We were in the rubber tube and letting the current drift us through the river. But out of the kindness of Sommer and my kind heart, we let the boys place their happy butt on the rubber tube while we girls swim up the river and I mean against the current.
Yes, it was like mission impossible (at least for me). While the boys were ahead of us and in their tubes, Sommer had to hold on to the branches by the side of the river to pull herself and move on while the current was pulling me further behind. During then, it was not fun at all, Sommer was worried if there's snake on the branches and I'm worried if I'll ever make it there but now when I'm recall that scene, it's funny.
At one point, Sommer had to pull on the branch and tell me "Di, grab my feet." Since she was ahead of me and by reaching out to her, I would be able to pull myself upwards.
Yes, during this time, the boys just look at us and "motivate" us. But we did managed to join the boys. Who would have known that Sommer would be my life saviour. =)
We finished the night with a great BBQ at Sommer and Pete's place and gosh, she made the best corn on the cob ever !!!! Oh, how can we forget the movie "Last House on the Left". It was violent and blood splattering but I really enjoy it. Our kids, Willie and Hatlee had fun playing but we have to shout at them a couple of times to break up their play. The kids like to play rough...but Boys will be boys. =)
It was a fantastic day and I can't wait for our next play date . I am sure Hatlee is thinking of the same thing too ! =)

yes, i saved your life while the boys merely watched and laughed! it was like straight out of a james bond movie! i thought we were filled with action-packed entertainment but the boys seemed to agree that it wasnt as miraculous as we thought it was! oh well...
Who are those stinky boys to comment when they merely stare, look and watched ?
But oh well, they do provide us with entertainment as well....
Can't wait for our next outing ! =)
