Boating

First Ride!

Feeling the wind!

Wait for me! This was my favorite picture taken last summer!

Swimming--the wind carried them away quickly! We had to throw the rope to pull them back in!

Mike loves to buy vehicles and toys online. He scouted the web for good deals on boats last summer and found a couple he liked in Arizona, but they sold just before he could get them. Then he found one in Oregon, but the guy  wanted too much. Just after the Arizona ones sold, the guy from Oregon emailed and dropped the price, so Mike hopped in the truck and drove to Oregon! It was a whirlwind drive with him leaving Saturday afternoon and getting home late, late, late Sunday night. We had a lot of fun taking it out with friends and family. The kids were okay to go on the tube until they sunk once and then they pretty much gave up on it for the rest of the summer. Mike likes having another guy along who can drive the boat so that he can ski or wakeboard. I tried to wakeboard,  but just couldn't get it. Maybe this summer! We love loading up and heading out to the lake in the evenings after Mike gets off work with a bbq/picnic dinner. This sure makes me excited for the warm weather to show up here this year!!
