because two boats are better than one

The newness of having a boat has yet to wear off. It truly qualifies as both family bonding and cheap entertainment. We all enjoy it. It keeps me from having to try to come up with creative (costly) things to do so that the kids don't get bored and can enjoy their summer vacation. Currently, all I have to worry about spending money on is water, lunch meat, bread and a few snacks for the ride. (And it's a good thing as I am fixing to have to shell out $310 for Clayson and Trey to play football. Ouch. )


The intertube that looked like fun will be returned to Academy as soon as possible. It's too big, too rough to sit in and going to cause me back trouble at a young age. We are going to exchange it for more of a disc type towable that you can lay on or sit on, not in. You know you'll be seeing pictures of that as soon as it happens. I never let you down with pictures.

Jared's mom joined us for a boatride on Monday afternoon. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, just seemed it was one thing after another and it was the hottest day of the year. It could be considered a sauna with benefits - if you actually get in the lake.

We also met up with Jason and Megan. The kids boat-hopped, swam, Trey fished, we anchored down and visited for a while. This, I have pictures of.





After any time out on the lake we come home exhausted, hot and without an appetite. My laundry is less and so is the grocery bill. These things may be going down but the fun gage is going up. And not to mention, the house stays real clean because we aren't home much to mess it up.
