(possibly) the last boat outing of the summer...



It is sort of sad to see the end of boating season. We have had so much fun on the
lake this summer and learned a lot in the process.

Jeff has learned ...

1. he can launch the boat without any help from us

2. he hasn't forgotten how to water ski (but he did forget how quickly you can get tired when you haven't water skied in years)

3. he's still just a kid at heart

The kids have learned...

1. how much fun tubing can be (Molly)

2. the water is a lot more fun when you wear goggles (Carson)

3. how to overcome your fears and try something new (Carson & the tube)

4. riding around in the boat is always better with a cold drink (Molly)

I have learned...

1. that I'm not very good at parking the truck/trailer in the parking lot (but got better as the summer went on)

2. that I don't really like to drive the boat but will do it so that my kids get to see their dad having so much fun

3. that a day on the lake always makes me too tired to go to the grocery store
