CLEAR SHALLOW WATER AND PURE WHITE SANDY BEACHES
Okay, I realize that we are now in November...
But I just had to share with you a wonderful experience I had this past summer!
I would not say that I have the need or desire to live on the edge.
I am more of the slow and lazy moving kind of gal.
But I guess I do have what I would call a very small list of things,
I have always wanted to do!
(I don't really care for the term called a Bucket List)
But this was something I really wanted to do!
So, My wonderful grown children made it happen;
We took a trip down a river on only inner tubes;
We did not use the canoe approach as this picture shows!
The water was very shallow as long as you stayed in the middle of the river.
And you moved at a steady clip as long as you stayed in the flow.
The water was super warm.
The name of the river had the name that just seemed a bit
un-lovely
The Black River
Wait, this is in the middle of a state known for its alligators...
What was I thinking?
This trip only takes 5 hours!
What!
I did pray that I would not hear any commotion along the river banks;
Such as a very hungry creature looking for a quick snack.
I did happen upon two old boys in a small boat;
And I asked them...
Hey, have you guys seen any alligators??
They merely shook their heads,
And one of them spoke up and said not a one today!
Gulp...
Pray harder
We had a ball and not even one little gator crashed our party!
I have always had this idea that;
I would like to try something new every year!
And this was something I will always remember!
We were a group of nine of us,
And I kid you not I was wearing a sun visor that said
LIFEGUARD
So every time our daughter and her sweet little one got stuck in
The Bayou, I had to swim in way over my head and pull her out and
Back into the middle of the flow,
But she just would not stay with the pack!
I had to rescue her too many times to count...
I only capsized twice and I laughed till I cried!
I will not be wearing the LIFEGUARD visor again if you know what I mean!
What have you done that will be a wonderful memory to last your lifetime?
