Finally some sunshine

at last we got to take our boat out in the sunshine!! After breakfast at the hotel the morning after CJ graduated, I headed up to the cabin to meet up with Mr. C and his family. Almost 4 hours of driving I arrived at the cabin, changed into my swimsuit, packed our food cooler and we headed down to the boat ramp. We had J, H, lil mis beautiful, and a friend and his son on our boat. We went and fished a little, but no one was having any luck so we went and met up with the rest of the family.

Sissy watching as papa plays with K in the tube.

The second day out on the water. Another attempt at fishing, but again no luck.

Not the best picture of us, but here we are enjoying riding our boat, while our friend and his son were taking a turn driving.

I was proud of myself, i felt that i did an okay job with taking the boat on and off the trailer, especially on Sunday when Mr. C was not on the boat with me for the first time. I still have lots to learn until i feel more comfortable with doing it, but i did it both days successfully!
It was a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!

Raining on my parade

So we went to the cabin this past weekend and go figure it was rainy and cold.... J, H, & lil miss beautiful, and us with lil D went up on Friday night and B&B met us on Saturday afternoon. We had told B&B that we would watch lil D while they went out to dinner and then we decided to head up to the cabin so they let us take him with us. Our first expereince watching him overnight, which went well. He didn't through any fits for us and played nicely with lil miss beautiful. We woke up on Saturday to the sound of rain which changed our plans. I was going to mow around the cabin while Mr. C brusch hogged and J weedeated. Well instead we relaxed around the cabin and finally in the afternoon it cleared up enough for Mr. C to start the tractor, but it was way to wet to get the mower out, so me & H just played with the kiddos. B&B brought our boat up and the plan was to go out on the lake that afternoon and hopefully on Sunday. Well after Mr. C got most of the brusch hogging done B & him took the boat out, it was to cold & was starting to rain for me to go out. I was bummed because I have only taken the boat on and off the trailer once and i was hoping for at least once more before the holiday weekend. But they came back shortly after they left and we bbqed and enjoyed the evening. Sunday Mr. C was able to finsih up what he didn't get done on Saturday and since it wasn't raining, just cold, some fishing was done by the pond. It was a nice relaxing weekend, just wish we could've of gotten the boat on the water but we did get some work done that needed to be done before the family is all there for the holiday.
