Every spare second

So, we bought Dad's boat, and in the 3 weeks we have had it we have taken it out nearly 10 times.  We bought it with our friends/neighbors, and we spend a lot of time on the river.  The beauty of it all is that we live 10 minutes from the marina, so we can go when Dave gets home from work and play on the water until dark.  On the weekends we spend the whole day on Saturday.  Dave has gotten really good at the wakeboard and is jumping the wake and loving it.  The boys will tube every once in a while, but they mostly love playing in the sun and sand on the beach.  Even Sabree has a pretty good time.  We have had date nights and played as adults, invited families to come and play, and have really enjoyed it.  We have friends in the ward that we meet up with that drive $60K boats and have all the toys, and we have the "Pinto" of the boat world, but we are loving it, and the best part is that it is paid off and we have just as much fun as they do...for a lot less money.  The pictures are from Saturday when we went to Charboneau.  The Strattons and our friends the Carlsons were there with us.  We had the BEST day!
