Father's Day River Trip 2012

Every year, we go on a river trip with my work colleagues, and, every year, we look forward to some time on the river to help us return to normal. This year, we enjoyed the John Day River in north/central Oregon. It was great but a lot of work. 

The river trip was our first overnight river and camping trip with Arlo, and he was so good! He was patient, good natured, and generally easy going. I think this is the start of something wonderful!

Ryan owning the oars! 


Naptime setup:  Papa on the edge of the boat, Arlo in his carseat rigged in the boat. 


The costume night theme was "Ode to the Olympics." It was a good time to break out the Messi jersey (thank you Hannah and company!).

Hooray! 
(What he was celebrating is unclear. Perhaps a goal?) 


Papa was a swimmer (yes, a Speedo was involved). Arlo liked the goggles. 


Nose kisses... awww... 

We also celebrated Ryan's second Father's Day on the river. He is such a wonderful father -- beyond what I could have ever imagined or dreamed of. We are one lucky family! Love you, Ry!

Looks like an awesome father's day trip! I don't think Joe's trip the Aquarium quite compares. Love the picture of Ryan and Arlo nose to nose:-)
