The Rainy day.....

It rained two of the day's that we were there.... but we weren't about to stay cooped up inside, we went out side and jump on the trampoline, and then after that, Airs, Rose, Christi and I decided to go on the lake with the raft, once we got in the middle of the lake, we started pushing eachother in... It was such a BLAST!!!!!!!!!! (besides the Alligators and snakes :o) (we didn't get any pictures of that, which is a bummer.)

After that, we got back on the trampoline and spread laundrey soup all over it, to clean our muddy clothes.

Putting soap on our feet!! (look at those clean feet!)
