July 18, 2010 - arrival at Black River Lodge

The now annual trek down to near Lesterville, MO to the one and only Black River Lodge... a throw back to simplicity, nature and making memories with cherished family and friends.

We are fortunate to join my dear friend Amy's family for this adventure and this summer was Colin's second experience at the Lodge. It was amazing to explore everything through his eyes, the river, the cabin, activities and dining hall.


We upgraded this year to a shared cabin with Amy and her boyfriend Kris (officially titled 'The Diver' by Colin) and we had officially moved in within an hour of arrival... including large inflatable lizard.
Cabins are named different birds...
Colin tried out all of the floating devises before we actually took them down to the river

The throwback kids playground is always a tremendous hit

The end of day one at Black River Lodge... and Colin insisted on "camping" on the floor for the first night, tuckered out from a long first day of BRL memories.
