Ladies Boat Float Day

Last year for my birthday, I invited a few friends to come lounge around on the boat and just basically float around for an afternoon.  We had such a great time and it sure beat the heck out of the usual going out to lunch at a restaurant!  So this year when I asked Michelle what she wanted to do for her birthday lunch, she said “Can we have boat float day again? It was so much fun!”  So I guess now its just going to have to be an annual tradition.

However, we did have one major difference with this years boat float day compared to last year: Last year it was hot and sunny as you would expect for a typical summer boat day.  This year, somehow we picked the only day all summer that it rained!

I’m talking it was pouring rain! It was actually quite comical.  So we had to button ourselves up in the bimini cover and eat our lunch huddled together to stay warm.

Michelle and Amberlee were out lounging on the tube and it suddenly started pouring on them.  We were laughing so hard we couldn’t even help them.  We just pointed and laughed!

Afterwards we took them on a ride and laughed some more….

Amberlee may quite possibly kill me if she sees this but I thought it was quite funny because her legs are flying up in the air. 

There is really nothing better than a group of old ladies having a great time, escaping for a day on a boat! No men, no kids, no problem!

Happy Birthday Chowie-girl, I love your “surprised” face, and I can’t wait till next years float day!

Camping at Hardscrabble

Michelle was so nice to let us come crash her family’s campground again this year!  My kids absolutely adore it there.  WARNING:  You’re about to see some VERY dirty, happy kids.  If this bothers you, move on to the next post! Smile
