Boating...

Last Sunday the Lewis' followed us to Patoka to go boating. Let's just say the boating part was fabulous but that was only after several bumps in the road. :) If you've read Janelle's blog, then you already know this story but if you haven't, let me sum it up quickly for you. Basically as we got about 30 miles from home on our way to the lake, the tahoe just blew up (not literally but the motor did bite the bust). So we were on the side of the highway with two toddlers in swimsuits and no way to get to the lake (Ethan stayed home with Papa T & Mimi since it was going to be a long,hot day). Chris called his dad and his dad and the tow guy were on their way. In the meantime, Braden and I jumped in with the Lewis' and found a playground at a school in the middle of nowhere and played until Chris called us and was ready to go again. So back on the road again pulling the boat w/ Chris' dad's truck (thank goodness for Papa T-our hero!). :) Then when we got to the lake our friends Jen & Nick were having boat trouble so we had to go help them with our battery etc.. etc...SO after a few fiascos, we were on the water sweating our butts off but ready to have a good time and so we did!!

Chris thought we had to have this island for boating and I thought it was a bit big and excessive :) but boy was I wrong! It was a good purchase. :) The kids played in the middle and we lounged around...it even has a slide but we didn't have it hooked up yet in the picture. It was perfect on this hot day!

Tubing-this was so much fun! There was room for all 4 of us!

After boating the boys had to relieve themselves side by side and discuss the day's events. :)
