It had been a while since we ventured to Manchester to visit, so we planned a weekend to get away for a bit and relax. Of course, no trip is complete without a run down the "whitewater rapids" so we spent an afternoon on the Maquoketa, enjoying the water. Once the girls were sufficiently worn out from walking the path to the top of the whitewater park, we enjoyed a nice float down the river, just the 5 of us. It was extremely peaceful, the weather was perfect, and Mark's parents were gracious enough to meet us at the end of our float and pick us up. The girls swam around for a bit, skipped some rocks and then we headed back home for some showers before a fun, family night at the movies! Now showing; Secret Life of Pets. Grace had already seen it with a friend, but the little girls really wanted to check it out, so we indulged them with a night out.
Grace was pretty brave taking on the rapids by herself.

Em did the rapids with a buddy as her tube always seemed to get off course!
Norah tripled up with the adults, so she was almost always one of the fastest to finish since her tube caught so much water. She liked watching the other girls come down the rapids behind her.
