Nakie Baby

Summer is in full swing here in Southern California and so is the heat.  So why not go to the desert where it is even hotter? – I thought to myself.
We were lucky enough to be invited to our friends’ cabin along the Colorado River in Arizona recently.  We jumped at the chance for a change of scenery and to be on a boat again.  The only downfall of Arizona in August was the 112 degree days and 100 degree nights. 
Brynn, as always, was a trooper.  She got car sick on the way there.  Right in the middle of rush hour traffic, while in the far left lane Brynn was trying to communicate to me that she was not feeling well.  Let’s just say I did not get the hint until it was too late.  And to top it off we were riding in my friend’s new car.  She took it all in stride and we were back on the road within 15 minutes.  Unfortunately for Brynn, I did not have a change of clothes for her (our suitcase was in a different car) so the weekend of “nakie baby” began.  From then on because it was so hot in the desert, Brynn ran around in only a diaper singing “nakie baby, nakie baby” for both comic and heat relief.  Two weeks later and we are still wrestling every day to put clothes on her.     
The river was so relaxing and fun that I was able to quickly forget about the fiasco on the way there.  We were on the boat both days just floating down the river.  We jumped into the cold water (which took your breath away) every chance we got and made some pit stops at different beaches to play horseshoes.  Brynn was right at home on the boat.  She loved the speed and wind in her hair.  Her favorite part was driving the boat and we can’t forget honking the horn.  We had an absolutely wonderful weekend.  Thanks Katie, Shane and all the others - we had a great time.

Long day on the boat.
