Goodbye to Summer

We all slept on the top deck of the house boat. I worried a lot about Brig climbing out of his play pen in the night so we turned it upside down to make a cage..lol. It worked pretty well until he woke up in the night and bawled. Here is a pic of all of the kids sleeping. I thought they all looked so cute. All of the adults slept around the kids to keep th
