Boating Adventures

Jeremy's parents, Mark and Debbie, have a little 1960's boat that has recently been revived. As a last Blanding adventure we went out on recapture lake (the pretty little stretch of water that you see as you're about to drive into Blanding). We had a few technical difficulties to start, but once we got going, it was smooth sailing.

Jeremy started out at the wheel until Debbie took over. Debbie was so fun to be out with! She loved every twist and turn. I wish we had captured some of here facial expressions :). I was as content as could be, sitting at the prow with my arm dangling in the splashing water or enjoying the scenery. I couldn't stop smiling--I loved every minute of it. We brought a little picnic and had a wonderful little afternoon adventure!

Oh the boat! Looks like a much better experience than last time. I am not saying the last one was fun, but different it was a VERY cold snowing day around Thanksgiving. We were the only ones on the lake, I wonder why?, testing the boat as it died in the middle. Jon and Dad had to paddle it back and tried to not have to get in the freezing cold water. It was quite comical!

Very fun! I'm just so unbelievably happy that I found the cake topper in time for your wedding. I knew it had to be somewhere and would turn up eventually, but I was sick to my stomach at not being able to lay my hands right on it. Hallelujah, I found it!
