On Sunday, we were invited to the river to hang out with our good friends. We were at their house on Saturday night for a fire and they had mentioned that they may be going boating on Sunday. They said if they did, they would text us. I told SJ that Sunday morning. He kept asking me every 30 minutes if they had called yet. "No, not yet," was my repeated reply.
Around 3:00, they sent us a text and asked if we wanted to come down to their dock. Bob was nervous to go tubing, but I told him he could just hang out on the boat with Willie and Topher. SJ was super excited when I told him about the text. It took us a few minutes to pack up our towels and grab some snacks. SJ was the first one in the car.
Our friends' dock is only about 15 minutes from our house. We found a parking space and met them at their dock. The boys started swimming in the river near their dock. They were diving off the dock or hanging out in the floating tubes. This went on for about 30 minutes. At one point, Willie got hurt jumping out of the boat. Fortunately, he wasn't seriously hurt, but he would have a nice bruise the next day. The girls (Willie's and Topher's sisters) were anxious to go tubing. My friends (the other two moms) and myself told the dads to take the kids out.
The dads piled all 6 kids into the boat and we waved goodbye to them. They were on the water for about 45 minutes. It was nice to hang out and chat with my friends. Every few minutes, we would see them speed by. There were always two different kids on the tube. Bob didn't tube, but he at least had fun on the boat. SJ got thrown from the tube at one point, but he was fine. He had on his life jacket. He was laughing when it happened.
After they were done tubing, we all called it a night. We thanked them again for having us. It was such a nice way to end a weekend.
