Mom finished up the 4 back-to-back markets today at the Ruritan Club. She said that business was slower today than it had been Friday morning, but we still made some sales so that's good. Before and after each show we discussed their potential and what we thought about returning. I think it is safe to say that we will not be going back to one or two of those events next year, but we did find one new market that we really like a lot and we are hopeful that it will be just the place we were looking for to sell our products regularly!
At home this morning we got up knowing we wanted to have some water fun, but we couldn't decide exactly what we were going to do.... We have really been wanting to go to the pool at Randolph Park in Dublin, but when we drove up today it didn't look like there was enough room to fit many more people in the pool... so we changed gears and headed to Wally-world to get some rafts for the kids so we could get in the much less crowded river...
For about a month now I have been eyeballing these river floats that only cost $5 each, but I hadn't stopped and grabbed any yet.... I wish I had... they were all sold out by the time we showed up today and we had to improvise... sure there were a lot of other options that looked awesome! Buuuut, we weren't trying to spend a fortune.... so we kept looking... They did have cooler floats for $3 each that looked just about the right size for the girls, so we grabbed them up and a float that we thought would work for Aiden and off we went!
We stopped by storage and grabbed up Mom's two kayaks and headed for the Claytor Lake Dam on the New River. When we got to there we were able to tell quickly that the float we had gotten for Aiden wasn't going to work out, but we were determined to have fun so we improvised again... The kids took turns riding in the cooler floats tied to the back of the kayaks and riding in my lap... We stopped about halfway through our trip and I tried to take the kids swimming, but that part of the river was too shallow. So we finished kayaking and floating all the way down to Riverview Park. Then the kids and I swam in the river while the hubby retrieved the van! I am exhausted, but it was a great day of family fun once we got going and I hope that we get to go again soon!
