Labor Day Boating

Bighorn on the River
Living in the LC Valley is easy. Have boat, will travel! Labor Day weekend here was hot and wet... but it didn't rain!

Our boat is our family's home on the river...and the river was popping with traffic. We zipped over wakes and cooled down with the refreshing spray, and then beached up for a picnic along the Idaho side of the Snake River--The Gateway to Hell's Canyon (pictured).

A whole beach to ourselves, we swam and ate, and Liza (3) and Lauryn (2) made sandcastles and sand art till dusk. How sad to pack up and call another Labor Day history as we boated back to the launch site and headed home!

Back to Washington (across the river) we headed home and ended the day watching stars in the hot tub without mosquitos and swimming in our clean, sparkling pool.
