a shuttle snafu ment we scrambled for dinner and firewood
but both were covered

happy hour on the river

fish got exercised

skin kid suffered way less separation anxiety than the fur
and the Ethiopiantoaster crew stuck a few

i manned the big blue family cruiser and enthralled my dudes with tales of river lore


least for a story or 2

all worked out no foul no wait we gots mary covered

fish got stuck as did crafts


gourgie day on tap
