boat ride

wow! we actually got mike's dad's boat up and running. our first adventure was a "date" me and mike had. It was great we left the kids with his parents and on a glorious Monday afternoon, we stopped and bought junk food and a bucket o' crickets and headed for ditto. We fished or actually we drowned a couple of crickets then we stopped at a cool little beach filled with shells that i collected, then we rode off into the sunset and headed back to get the kids.
Last week for Father's day Mike took his dad fishing, then he called me and said to bring the kids down for a test drive, well, they loved it!! even Ariel, we left Michael back with Grandpa, but then decided to see how he'd do and then they both joined us. It was glorious! and Michael did great, next time we're taking the inner-tube, I think Amy said it best when she told Tom, "thanks for having this boat", i echo that "thanks for having the boat and letting us take it out".
