Thunder on the Loup 2015

Last weekend Jesse and I headed out to Nebraska for Thunder on the Loup 2015. This is a huge air boat get together on the Loup River. We camped by the river, boated and watched the races on Saturday and Sunday. Several of our friends went as well making for a great weekend in the sun.

A canopy...because we're not just Redneck...we're High Class Redneck :)

One of my favorite pictures from the whole trip :)

Boating before all the activities begin

Dream house, with a gorgeous view!

The River Rats also came to have some fun. These trucks and Jeeps are made to go almost totally under water!

Super friendly people. Took Jesse and one of our friends for a ride :)

Over 200 campers and an estimated 4,000-6,000 people in attendance to watch the races!

Me and my "sister" Melissa :)

Another gorgeous day of boating! (before the storms!)

It seems to rain every year we head to the Loup. I found out that rain drops to your eye balls at 40mph is NOT fun! These clouds were really scary, but luckily didn't turn into much more than rain.

  We always have so much fun on the Loup and already have our trip planned for next year :)

Thunder on the Loup 2012

Over the weekend, Jesse and I went on an air boat trip with some friends. We had such a great time! We got to go boating on a beautiful river, watch the races and get away for a while :)

We got there on Friday and set up camp. That afternoon we took a nice long boat ride. It was so cool to be on a different river. Our river is much more narrow (and very shallow right now!) compared to the Loup River. The boat ride was great, but the storm that night wasn't! We ended up sleeping in the truck since our tent was trying to blow in on us!

But Saturday was beautiful again. The sun was shining and our stuff all dried out in no time. Saturday was the start of the races. It's so cool to see the boats all lined up! All the different paint jobs, graphics and setups are so cool to see!

I even found my dream boat :)

Sunday we went boating again for a while. We actually missed the races on Sunday because we were out doing our own thing and we wanted to get home at a descent time that night. But it worked out great. It was a nice relaxing weekend and we're already planning our trip for next year!

  I'll be catching up with blog posts that I missed over the weekend. And I'll do a double dose of Treasury Thanks on Sunday since I missed it this past weekend!
