4th of July Part II :: tubing

The tube itself is not threatening. Even a 3 year old can ride it!

But if you have an adventurous driver...

"I didn't know it was going to be this way!  I'm not going to make it much longer like this."

getting some air!

Oh, nooo! the big one!

the grand "wipe out" finale!

It was a mystery to her why the water was so hard (chuckles).

All this picture fun was made possible with the help of cousin Ashley's sweet telephoto lens. :)  Thanks, girl.  Too much fun.

I think my sister will appreciate it if I throw one in of my experience too. She's not alone. I had my own wild ride (no not really...but you'd think it was by my reaction).

she's 6!

This is the third year in a row that she has requested the same party.

Pizza, cake, pool, and a few sweet friends.  She's the easiest birthday girl ever.

WE LOVE THIS KID!

My dear friend, Dawn, took these of my baby.  She was swimming under water at 3 yrs. old.  It was amazing to me and very frightening all at the same time.
