Laughlin River Regatta 2011

This past weekend we went on a little family trip up to Laughlin. Every year in Laughlin, the River Regatta takes place and my family has participated the last 5 years or so but Eric and I haven't had the chance the float down the river. So, my mom offered to watch Cianna this year while we floated- Eric and I had this on the calendar for quite some time so we were very excited! We got up late on Thursday night, said hi to my parents and then crashed for the night.

On Friday morning, Eric and my brother went golfing while Cianna, my parents and I went out to breakfast and hung out until the boys got back. Once they got back we headed over to our family friends house to hang out by the pool for the day.

Friday night we had pizza for dinner and the guys did their Fantasy Football draft which seemed to last forever...haha.

Saturday was the River Regatta so we were all up early getting our rafts ready to go and finally, we were off! Only bummer was that the weather wasn't great that day but we didn't let that bother us too much (the water was a bit chilly though). There were about 30 of us that all went out together and we tied all of our rafts together and floated down the river in a big group. We don't have any pics since we couldn't bring our cameras but trust me, it was a blast and quite relaxing. It's not everyday that you can float down the river with a large group of family and friends- we are already talking about next year. We floated for about 3 hours or so before making our way to shore and back to the house where we spent the rest of the day hanging by the pool and eating an amazing dinner made by my Aunt Karen.

I tried labeling the rest of the pictures but it's not working right but I think you can figure it out :)
We had such a great time and we value all of the time that we get to spend with the family. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fabulous trip and to the Caligiri's for their amazing hospitality!!
