A Day of Boating Fun Part I

One might find it interesting that our family, living only minutes away from a river, would have been on boats many times but, that couldn't be farther from the truth. It has been over 10 years for either Brad and I and our kids have never set foot on a boat. Well, that all changed today! Our wonderfully generous friends, the Lee's, invited us to go with them today on their boat. We were overjoyed. They had all the life jackets and materials except, we did need to buy one for Kierra. Late last night, we headed to Shopko and found the last one they had, in her size, and what a steal, it was marked down to only $12!!!! SOLD!!! So, off we headed this morning at 10:30 from Swallows Nest boat launch (about a two minute drive from our house) towards Chief Timothy Park where our other friends, the Borland's, were camping with their boat. Here are a couple pictures of us when we first set foot on the boat...

All of us with Myka...it's shaping up to be a fun day!
Kierra & her new life jacket...she was a little unsure at first

Jordyn & Myka...she was so excited!

Jeylin just couldn't quit giggling...he was so amazed that we were about to pass under three bridges to get to our final destination!!!

When we finally arrived, we had much more fun with tubing & wake-boarding. In the next post, I'll have some pictures of that as well as some video!!
