Last year, we decided to make a couples day of it out on the lake, and Gabe got sick. We were able to go anyway, but Lindsay and Neal were worried about him the whole time.
Earlier in the summer this year, we decided we had so much fun last year, that we needed to do it again. This time, Lindsay and Neal almost had to back out at the last minute because of baby sitter issues. We were lucky to find someone wonderful (or crazy) enough to keep all 5 of our kids at once and we got to go! We had another wonderful, relaxing day on the lake...just adults!
Well, late in the summer, Neal was out of town so Gary suggested that we invite Lindsay and her 3 boys to come out on the lake with us. Yes, that is 5 kids ages 6 and under (all boys) on one pontoon boat! Mitch was so excited to finally get to take some of his friends out with us! We had a fantastic time! That is...until Jake decided to vomit in the boat...and not just once! We never did really figure out what was wrong with him, but he went to sleep and slept for most of the day on the boat. When he woke up, he was pretty pitiful, but I did get some good cuddle time in! The rest of boys just kept playing and we ended up having a great day anyway. But...it seems like it is always something with us!
We took lots of pictures, but here are some of my favorites!
Gabe, Sam, and Mitch waiting patiently to get this boat moving!
A VERY rare photo of Luke and Jake sitting still!
Gary is so incredibly patient with the kids. He let each of the "big boys" (as we call Mitch, Sam and Gabe) take a turn driving the boat...alone!
Me and Jake on the ride out to the cove...before he got sick!
Mitch and his "Cee-Cee" (aka Lindsay)...he LOVES her!
Me and Jake on the ride back in to the BoatHouse...after he got sick! It just breaks my heart to see this little bundle of energy laying still like this....you know he doesn't feel good if he is being still!
In spite of everything, we always have a great time! I'm sure we'll try again next year...and maybe we'll have better luck!

Aww! I never ended up seeing these pics. I need to get copies. That was SUCH a fun day, even in the midst of throw up! Thanks again for having us out there. Thanks to Gary letting him drive, Sam now wants to take "boat lessons".
