River Rats

For a split second there, I was sure it would be raining today. We didn't really check the weather for the weekend, but had faith in the elements holding out just long enough for us to be on the water for the majority of this Labor Day Weekend.

We may have wondered what the clouds would hold for the day, but by late morning, this was the starting view:

rob, kenny & the bajas

We departed from Dillon's house, met up with Kenny and Taryn, and loaded the Bajas into the water for a day that would be spent with awesome friends cruising the river.

Dillon & Matt hauled Dillon's jet ski's up to the drop-in in Grafton, so we made our way up river to get them, after picking up Kyle & Jesse. It wasn't long before Rob's mom & stepdad joined in, and from there, the day was at our disposal.

relaxing! 

^^ Jesse took this shot; that's Taryn over there on the right laying out, and I... am pretty sure I was asleep lying on the front of Rob's boat. Womp womp. ;)

After we'd lounged on the shore for a few hours, we voted it was time for food, and found ourselves heading to the Big Kahuna. Oh, and the poor little jetter had to be towed; it looks like an update on some wiring is in order!

poor lil jetter.. 

Finally..... 

front row parking & the bk

I have no complaints on how the afternoon panned out. We eventually all parted ways, and Rob and I headed back to Dillon's, where the three of us parked ourselves on the couch to watch part of the American Ninja Warrior marathon that's been on for what seems like weeks now. It was a toss-up on whether or not we'd actually get out and do something, but we eventually pulled ourselves together and found our fail-proof destination: Bindy's. 

and then there's this.. 

^^ Hahahah.. "It's a satchel. Indiana Jones had one!" - I love this guy. 

And that, folks, is how we're kicking off this Labor Day. See ya back on the water tomorrow!

Oh, HellO, Sunday!

W I N N I N G.

Today was just about as perfect as they come [just wish mini was here :/ ... ].

Xx | R I V E R! We made the decision early on to get some river time in, so Rob hooked up the boat and we were on our way to Grafton to meet up with Kenny and do some cruising. Taryn opted out, which honestly.. I didn't blame her after all of us being up eons past our bedtimes like teenagers last night.. haha.

[an oldie, but hey, it works ;) ] | river bound!

It didn't take us long to get moving once we got there; the first stop was The Big Kahuna in Grafton for some food, then it was back on the water en route to a sand bar to relax and do some quaaaa-li-ty people-watching.

Haha... yeahh. Really though, it made for a perfect afternoon, and checked off 'get on Rob's boat at least once this year' off my summer2013 bucket list. I realized today that this, in addition to my time last weekend with Laney, has proved completion of a few major things on said bucket list for the summer that I honestly wasn't sure I'd accomplish... so far I'm doing pretty good.. I wonder... what else I can do before it's over? Hah..

Boyfriend. Boat. Great company. Great.. Day. I needed this more than I realized. It doesn't take much, haha.

hi there, perfect day!

On our way home, we made the decision to go for sushi at Se7en, which was one of our frequent spots when I still lived here. This is never a bad decision for us, and tonight proved solid testament. 

se7en!

I'm here for one more night, which is strange to me.. but whatever, it works (: Tomorrow is the drive back to Cinci, but for now, one more night to relax & hang with my man & the two fuzzballs. Life's good, folks. (:
