A week from today we will be headed to Poland on our Chartier Summer Extravaganza, subtitled Desert Rats do Europe. I’m so excited for rain and green and not sweating. Poland was never on my list of must-do places, but I’ve learned that the world is full of hidden gems: Turkey, Oman, remote corners of Crete . . . I’m looking forward to adding another place to my favorites list.
With every new trip comes the pressure to finish up the previous one. I’ve been terrible about keeping up this spring. I haven’t even finished writing about our trip to Paris yet! But over the next few days I plan to finish up Atlantis because I have some great photos that I don’t want to miss.
Starting off with a power breakfast. She did sweet talk me into the candy bar at the end by telling me that she wanted some “protein first, then candy.”
I sprang for a waterproof case for my phone so I could take pictures while we rode the lazy river and rapids together. Worth every penny.
So much fun riding with 3 of the 4. (I got my time on the rides with Calvin the following day.) If only Josh could have been with us.
Carter catching the wave on The Torrent
More “surfing.” A timed wave rolls down the canal, pushing the inner tubes along so Caleb and Carter would try to stay on their tubes without falling off.
Rapids!
Crashing into each other
It’s amazing that a small sheet of plastic turns my phone into an underwater camera!
