The Black River

We finally got to take our annual trip to The Black River this year.  We skipped last year because we couldn't find a weekend that worked for everyone.  Allison and I were the only two girls, but it was super fun!!

Shannon, Omar, Richard and I arrived Thursday evening.  It was a low key night.

On Friday, Potter, Patrick, and ,my dear friend from high school, Brady arrived.  There are a lot of complications in that statement, but let's just leave it at the three of them were SUPPOSED to ride together.  One overslept and had to find his way to Georgetown!!  ;)  We took the pontoon to one of our favorite restaurants, The River Room.  I got to enjoy some delicious shrimp and grits.  Potter also surprised us with some delicious not-so-delicious, but cute pink and blue drinks to predict the gender of his newest baby that is on the way.  We all had to hold up the color that we predicted to drink first.  I chose blue!!  Guess what???  A baby boy is on the way!!  So excited for the sweet Potter Family.

We took a leisurely boat ride back.  Allison came later that night.  

We floated on Saturday.  All. Day. Long.  It was super fun!  Just as Shannon was getting ready to start the little boat that was floating with us, he realized that we had lost the propeller at some point along the way.  We had some River "friends" rescue us.  We floated to their dock and ended up hanging out with them most of the night.  We even had dinner down there.  It was really weird because we had so many mutual friends/connections with these people who stopped to help us.  They were having the same sort of get together with friends that we were having.  

It was a great weekend with friends!  Can't wait until next year!

Best group of guys that I know!!

We ran from the storm!!

Yay for Little Boys!  

Boat Ride back from The River Room!  Love these dudes!

This girl, Margaret Ann, that was hanging out with the folks who saved us on the River used to be babysat by my next door neighbor, Colleen!!  So crazy!  We had to take a pic to send to Colleen!  We had to run around in our swimsuits that night because our clothes were at the house.  Luckily, one girl let me put on one of her outfits over my swimsuit!
