Well today was really nice out and I didn’t have anything to do after going to the post office so My dad & brother talked me into taking the boat out to make sure that it still runs. After getting it in the water it took us about an hour to get the darn thing started since it hadn’t been used in about two years. We thought that we would have to give up & go back home but we’re very stubborn people and kept on trying until it finally came to life. After that we kind of just drove a few times around Lake Byllesby. Suprisingly for such a nice day the lake was pretty dead and there were maybe only 5 other boats out there with us. At least I finally got some sun and hopefully didn’t burn anywhere. Lately I’ve been mostly in the house because I’m either making jewelry or posting it on etsy, or just browsing the web or watching a movie. Normally I would take advantage of sunny days and lay out on the trampoline but a storm mangled it last year and it’s sadly no longer with us.

Dad testing out his “new” depth finder. It was actually a present to him from my mom about 5 years ago and he hasn’t used it until now.

Eric & Gracie. This was Gracie’s first time on a boat and she was very good about it. Poor Luke didn’t come along because he’s always the one that gets to go on little trips so this was Gracie’s turn.
