River water seems to get into your blood. Hadley definitely has it. Jay has it. Both my dad and Jay's dad have it. Okay, I guess some of you might need a little bit of history. Jay and I know each other because of the River. Our grandparents had river camps next door to each other. My father was several years older than Jay's father, but our aunts are almost exactly the same age. Only a couple of weeks separate them. Our fathers and aunts and grandparents spent many summers playing together on the Elk River. Long after my grandparents sold their river camp, my father longed to get back to the water. He dreamed of building a log cabin overlooking the Elk River. Jim also wanted to be on the River. He and Kaye have been lucky that they were able to be on the river. My father died before he could build his cabin.
Jay and I take our kids to the river as often as possible. Today, they played in a swimming pool by the garage and went for jetski rides. I goofed and didn't get pictures of the jetski rides, but here are some of my adorable babies in the water.
The Adventures of Mrs. Jay continue...
