Summer is Officially Here!

Nothing like a three-day Memorial Holiday weekend to get summer underway!

It was supposed to be yucky all weekend according to the weatherman, but apparently it all went around us. It did cloud up a few times, but we enjoyed some sunshine too. We spent the weekend at the boat, from about Sat Noon through Mon Noon and only had rain overnight last night.

TJ was in heaven with the extended time to drive his new remote control boat and got a chance to demo it for lots of people on the dock. The marina is a great place for him to use it and it keeps him busy during the times we are just relaxing on the dock.

The marina is gearing up for summer with lots of people and boats, and of course no summer could start without a parade of baby ducks! It's fun to see the mama ducks swimming with them around the boats and waddling up on the jet ports.

After we left the marina today we dropped the kiddos off at home and made a short trip to pick up a new water toy ... a 14' SeaDoo Speedster. We're thinking the kids will love the chance to tube and hit some river beaches, plus we can all fit in it for an excursion instead of taking two separate jet skis ... with room for floating toys and a cooler to spare. And it has a nice trailer that makes it a lot more mobile than our other boat, which can't be trailered at all.

They were very excited when we pulled into the driveway with it and jumped at the chance to help Dad wash and scrub it up. TJ's wondering if we can buy a tube in time for next weekend since it's Monday already. hahaha
