On the final weekend of the summer ... what to do? Spend the day tubing, biking & kayaking in Denver! Papa scouted out a tubing route down the South Platte River, so we embarked on a water adventure that was a first for the boys! The river current was pretty slow (no class 5 rapids here!) and the guys were first up to float. A bike trail ran parallel to the river, so Mom, Grant & the extra supplies followed alongside the tubing enthusiasts. About 1 mile down the river, we had a switcheroo, and Dad, Reid & Grant hopped on the bike while Mom took a turn tubing with Papa & Luke.

Fun day on the river!

To refuel after tubing, we hopped over to our family favorite of the Morrison Inn for a late lunch of Mexican food. Then we returned to Papa's camping spot at Bear Creek Lake. Napping, bike riding & kayaking were on the afternoon agenda. In all, a great day and a grand finale for Summer 2011!
