We took a little trip this weekend to the river (Colorado river), lake Martinez to be exact.
We were very lucky to be invited to stay at one of Laurie and Rick's 3 houses. Yep, that's right, they have 3 houses all right on the water... CRAZY! Laurie and Rick are our good friend Bri's aunt and uncle.
We had a fabulous time!!!
Our spectacular accommodations.
We were lucky enough to have our own room!
We were sure spoiled at this house. The past 3 summers we thought we had it nice because we stayed at a river RV park that had grass. No amount of grass can compare to staying in this house at the river!
We drove over Thursday afternoon and got there just in time for dinner and a few drinks.
Here is Douggie multi-tasking.
Not the 1st time he has enjoyed a beer while putting Emma to sleep, he is becoming a pro.
Friday Douggie got up at 6 am to go wake boarding, and he got up the 1st try!
He did it for the 1st time last summer, and obviously he is becoming quite good at it.
Sorry I don't have any pictures, but Emma and I decided to sleep in, instead of going on the boat.
Emma LOVED her little crab floaty. The water was warm, so I think she thought she was in a huge bath tub, and the girl loves her baths.
Here is our little boater all suited up and ready to go to the other house for breakfast.

Emma, on her 1st boat ride.
I love how cute she looks in her little bikini, thank you Bri for the new swim suits.
The great view from the back patio, and Douggie and Noel are paddle boarding in the background.
Such a pretty night for a family picture.
Bri and Noel, awww!
And the shenanigans began...
here we were on the deck, enjoying a few cold beverages.
And our little Emma is such a trooper, she fell asleep and hung out with us.
It's probably a good thing she was asleep, because some of the wild people in the group decided to go for a little night swim, sans their swim suits. The best part was, they ran down the dock and Laurie made a comment to us all non skinny dippers on the patio, 'those idiots, they forgot towels!' They felt pretty silly and had to wait in the water until Brigitte was nice enough to take towels down to them. Crazy girls!!!
Emma on our way home this morning.
We had a great weekend and can't thank everyone enough for all of their hospitality.
To our super fun roomies at the Dove Lane house, we had an amazing time with you all.
A special thank you to Rick and Laurie!

4th of July on the river looks like a ton of fun! We love Emma's bikini. She has quite the figure for it. We wish we could have seen you down in Escondido when we were there. Hopefully next time!
