THE LAUNCH

These pictures are kind of in the wrong order so start at the bottom and you will get a better idea of how they are suppose to go.

Mindy and Dad went out to try their luck at fishing. They were gone a good 45 minutes but came back empty handed. Darn. Evan and I just stayed and chatted a bit while Davis took his nap. Mindy said three fish jumped up by the boat and were just eating the bugs on the water. I think she should have had a fishing net and just whopped them into the boat. There was a guy that docked just before they did and he had a good catch. Well, better luck next trip. At least we got the boat launched and had a good ride as well. Maybe next time I will be brave and go too. Who KNows?

We had a really nice picnic area which was up on a raised grassy area. We did find an ants nest but - hey - what's a picnic without ants. We ate and then took the boat out again.

Hang on Evan, we're ready to launch. It's lookin' good - no leaks. Yea!!!

THE LAUNCH

This is the first picture we took of the boat. It was Saturday afternoon and Dad was getting the trailer ready to haul it to the lake. Just on the spure of the moment we called Mindy and Evan and asked if they would like to come with us. I am glad they did. We actually had to borrow their life jackets. We went to Clear Lake which is just out by Medical Lake and is really close for a quick launch. Boy was Dad excited!

Two fathers just relaxing. Course, Dad's got his hat on so you know there was work involved and Evan and Mindy did a good job getting the BBQ into the backyard - mostly Evan. Mindy opened the gate and supervised. Thanks to Mindy and Evan, Erin and J, Andy & Gav and Kris and Ben and Cory & Beka. Love you all!

This picture is a little out of order because it was Mother's Day. Cory and the boys came by early in the morning and spent a little time here. It was so nice to have them visit. They also visiting Grandma the same morning which was a nice surprise for her. I wasn't feeling really well but I enjoyed having them. What a great bunch of boys.

READING CARDS FROM FAMILY ----------tAKING TIME TO READ A CARD GIVEN TO HIM FROM AVERY,BODEE AND DAVIS. It was a fun time for Dad and I think he was surprised with the BBQ. Thanks to everyone - it was a good gift.

Father's Day Surprise

Here is the bbq. It is a really nice one. It will do any grilling Dad needs done for family get togethers. I wanted him to fire it up today but he said that for just what we needed for our little dinner we could still use the little one. Mindy and Evan took Dad's black truck to go to Walmart to pick up the grill. They also got a really nice cover for it. Here's Dad putting on the cover. It fit just perfect. Thanks for such a nice Father's Day gift for Dad. We'll let you know who cooks first!
