About a week & a half ago, Josh and I decided to go camping/floating with our friends Robyn & Cory at a friends place (Mark) in St. Clair by the Meramec River. I was so glad we did. It was a great trip and it was nice to get away for a weekend without the kids. Although, I would love to take the girls when they get older! I don't think we could have asked for better weather, but we did have to get through setting up tents in the rain in order to get it! I'm sure I've never worked so fast to get a tent up in my life! It was pretty funny, but got done and then we hung out under some giant patio umbrellas that Mark had thought to bring drinking our beers :-) Thankfully, the rain subsided and we really got the fire going and enjoyed the cool night. Enjoyed cooking some grub, drinkin' some brew and sittin' under the stars. The next day we got up made breakfast, thanks Robyn! and got on our way. Probably one of the best floats I've ever been on. The river was a little low, but somehow we only got stuck once! Everything else was great, except probably Robyn's mishap with a dead tree...we blame it on Cory :-) Oh and the raccoon eyes. I was just glad that the whole 5 hours we were out there it was just us and no one else. I loved it. Thanks to Mark for letting us use his family's land and for the great weekend and thanks to Robyn & Cory for driving and all the floating gear (thanks Papa Cooper!) because I think we can safely say we had an awesome time. Can't wait to do it again!
