2009 Float Trip

A couple of weeks ago we headed south to Leasburg, MO for our annual float trip. A group of friends started this annual float trip around 15 years ago. Kim and I think that this was probably our 8th float. It is always a fun weekend to just kick back, cook out, tell stories while sitting around a camp fire, play some games, hang out in the river, pitch our tent, and of course float down the river.

Friday was a beautiful day. We were able to hang out in the river and soak up the sun. It was cold that night! Kim and I wore sweatshirts and pants when we went to bed! We could even see our breath by the end of the night! Much better than sweating to death though. I was not complaining. We were on the river only 5 minutes on Saturday when the rain began to fall. It sprinkled for a bit then it became a downpour! The girls had ponchos on to battle the elements! It was so cold and so nasty. The sun finally made an appearance and we had a pretty nice afternoon. Everyone made it back to the camp site safe and sound. No one dumped this year either! That has to be a record! It was another successful float. We are already looking forward to next year.
