The New Boat

Andrew bought a boat. It's a long story, but it's a dream of his. We took it out for the first time as a family last Friday. I was worried about how it would work for the family, but it was really fun.  

There was a lot of drama. We had to wait forever while picking it up from the mechanic, then once we got it at the boat ramp, the battery wouldn't start. We had to take it to another shop while they tested and replaced the battery. There was a lot of waiting in the car for this mama and five kids.

Once we got to the lake, we had a great time. Eden adjusted to being a sumo in her life jacket, though she couldn't move on her own, just stand in one place. 

Andrew was so thrilled to have his family out, enjoying the water!

Then we all jumped in the water!

Congratulations on your dream, Andrew!
