Another Great day on the Rappahannock

Well, it was sooooo much fun swimming in the river last week for free, we decided to take it up a notch this week.  For $15 per person (group rate), we were driven up the river in a van started by our guide with a screwdriver.  From the drop off point to the pick up point, we floated in tubes (and life jackets for everyone) for about 2 hours.  It was an absolutely wonderful way to spend a miserably HOT day!  With the water levels being low, even the 7 year olds were able to manage!  Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandfathers.... everyone did great and was completely exhausted by the end.  
Tomorrow we're off to the Orange County Fair.  It's to be an old fashioned County fair with hay rides and a moon bounce as the only "rides".  Lots of farm animals to see and pet, with many, many 4H clubs showing their animals as well.  Lots of good "fair" food, and from what I read, pie eating contests as well.  I can only hope there will be tents and fans for cooling off as it should be another record breaking heat day!
