Sadly this year Christopher and I were not able to make it to Brewton for the annual Fourth of July celebration. Every year the Dawkins family has a reunion, then we all make our way down to the city park for the entertainment (singers, cloggers, the like), the duck race, and fireworks. It's what I've done almost every year that I can remember, but due to scheduling Christopher and I simply could not make the trip work. Since we were in GA for the fourth, we decided to grab some friends and tube the Chattahoochee. There's a place about ten minutes from our house that is just awesome! Should you ever find yourself in Buford and wonder what to do I would highly suggest Up the River Outfitters. They drop you off, pick you up and provide everything you need for a super reasonable price!
Chris and Pinky doing what they normally do...stare at each other like they're not friends...Waiting to bus to the drop off point!
This is how they really feel about each other. Pinky and Chris found worked on a project together when we first moved to Atlanta, and now I just can't imagine life without her!
Caroline and Trey super excited to be tubing!
A little too much love perhaps? This was the first time really hanging out with Caroline and Trey and can I just say that we had such a great time with them!!
Christopher and I are pro's at this tubing stuff! The only issue is the place doesn't take reservations, so you just have to be prepared to get over there and them not have room to take you...we're also pro's at having to turn around and go home when they are full for the day :(
And this is generally what C looks like the entire way home if we don't get to go...
Of course he's fishing! Did anyone really think that he wouldn't be? However, since Caroline and Pinky are both exclusive veggie lovers, this was a bit hard for them, but the trout supper that followed this trip was awesome!! It was hard to watch Pinkerton and Caroline have their feelings hurt...
I don't know that you can get that smile any place other than the river...it's like home to him
I however just enjoy floating and taking in the beauty that is the Hooch.
All in all the day was wonderful, a little different, but if I couldn't be home I can't think of a better group of people to spend the day with!
