Summer officially ends tomorrow. Long Live Summer! It has been a very busy summer for the family with baseball lasting through June, then July, and even into August. Updating this blog has not been a top priority, although there have been several Cacapon River Adventures to write about. The adventure this post will cover is the July 12th Party at the River.
Camp
The girls weren't too sure about camp life at first...
Yep, that's my dad's 34 foot Winnebago.The recently built shower house on the right was AWESOME.
Cousins!
Movie Night
Smores
The Float Trip
The river was at normal levels for July which means that it was shallow in many places and not running very strong. We tied all the floats together, including the two beer cooler floats, and Captain Christopher hooked the entire party barge to the back of the kayak. Off we went.
Getting Situated
Note who is tethered to the beer float.

Babes in the woods.
Floating in style!
Even grandma is having fun. And she's not at the beach!
Taking a break at Bird Poop Rock.
Somebody was probably fussing about them standing on that big slippery rock.
The party barge had to split up to navigate the rapids.
Near the end and the sun is moving behind the mountains.
Captain Christopher is still pulling us back to camp, this time via truck.
Watch the video of the float trip!
Fishing the Bass Hole
I've never tried fly fishing the Cacapon, but Uncle Kev was successful. He caught the largest smallmouth of the day.

Uncle Kev, getting it done!
Bass Pro has asked us to model their newest line of apparel.
The Fish Whisperer
The boys swore they would eat them. They didn't.
After everyone left, the camp was eerily quiet. Until next time!
