First Time Taking the Boat Out

This was already a couple weeks ago...but we took the boat out for a "dinner" at Cults Lake. Gerard had hoped to take it camping and wanted to try it out to make sure it could still go. It's an old girl but she works every time. It is always a fun family outing, we go across the lake where only people with boats could go (up till this year, now there is group camping on the other side) and have dinner, play around for a bit, and then take a tour of the lake.
My six-year old going on 16. She hung out in the boat for a bit and "talked" on the cell phone. (it doesn't work...she got it from a friend) The imaginative world they can still be in.

Sharleen and I are going to the world-renowned Harrison Sand Scalping Contest next year. We figured without the very eager "help" from the two-year-old in our family...the sky is the limit in what we can make.
What a wonderful family night. They all got a turn to "drive" and it was really interesting seeing the difference in the charter. Sharleen sat down in the chair, couldn't see a thing, and had just a ball cranking the steering wheel to the right and then to the left giving us all a wild ride. Timothy right away had to stand up and wanted to see where he was going. He was very cautious of the other boats and the buoys in the water. If he keeps this up I will have no problem letting him take his buddies out in ten years with the boat. (if the boat still floats)lol.
