Wednesday Night Boating

Tonight, we decided to take our boat out for a spin.  But Kade couldn't get (something or other) fixed on it....yeah I have no idea what was wrong.  :D   Did you know we have a boat?  It is a beautiful seventy-something yellow color...don't know how old it is but it's safe to say it isn't worth a whole lot.  We scored it last year, for practically nothing, and Kade got it running right as Mud Lake started getting too dirty for comfort.  We never got to take it out last year, and he has been itching to, but it just hasn't happened.

He arranged for his buddy to take his boat out at the same time, in case our boat got stranded.  But because we didn't get ours where Kade wanted, we decided to just all go together on one boat.

It wasn't long before Kade's buddies boat started smoking, and we were lucky to make it back without a fire, sinking, or paddling to the dock.  On the bright side, we all smelled like exhaust by the time we were done.  Seriously, I think we have the worst luck ever!  It will make a good story and the kids had fun, because they weren't stressing about making it back to the truck.

I decided that through all our bad luck, to just keep smiling.  Because there is no point in all of us being stressed/worried.  I had a comforting feeling the entire time, I knew that we would be okay, I knew the boat would make it.  The men were stressed, but the women were easily chatting away, trying to keep the kids from jumping in the water ;)
