On Sunday the fellas and I drove over the lake to Washington Parrish and floated down the Bogue Chitto River. I went a few years ago but hadn't been back since: AV and Evan are much more seasoned water fun adventurers! Our group of nine started around 11:30 and slowly made our way down the river stopping a few times to toss a Frisbee and football around, munch on some snacks, and re-apply suntan lotion. There were lots of fluffy white clouds in the sky with no hint of rain in sight. We leisurely floated for nearly six hours before reaching the end of the route. Before heading back over the causeway we stopped for chicken at Raising Cane's. It was my first experience with the Louisiana-based chicken chain--not too shabby. Unfortunately despite my best efforts I managed to obtain a gnarly sunburn on my upper legs. Putting pants on this morning was less than comfortable!
Obviously phones/cameras are not a wise accessory for tubing due to the extreme risk of dropping that treasured technology in the water so I have no true evidence of our trip but the following are all mementos from the day!

This skit was referenced on multiple occasions throughout the day!

Being lazy on the river sure can be exhausting! After a shower to get the sand off it was bed time for this tuber! Not a bad way to spend a Sunday :)
