delivering boats ..

it is time to deliver all the boats that we have been storing all winter back to our customers .. the kids and i get to help with the big boats .. we don't care so much to deliver back the seadoos .. they are not as much fun ..

this is burris smith's boat .. burris and shelby are just about the greatest customers ever .. first you have to take off the cover .. 

 

you start in the back and work your way around to the front .. jeff is hollaring .. hey babe .. could you maybe help me with the front .. yes dear .. just a minute .. got to take a picture ..

see .. all uncovered .. and ready to be backed into the water .. better get the "helpers" ..

there they are .. and uncle dan you will notice that cash is wearing his 'delivering boats back" pj's .. everyone in ..

now .. i get to finish backing the big truck into the water .. except that i didn't hear jeff say stop babe .. i backed in just a little bit to far ..

and they are off .. jeff is saying .. please put down the camera and pull the truck out of the lake .. yes dear i say .. just one more picture .. you better watch where you are going ..

ellie is giving me the half wave .. half .. ha ha .. we get to go in the boat with daddy and you have to drive the big truck .. yes ellie .. 15 minutes of piece and quiet .. heck .. i might even make a phone call and talk to someone without small children asking me if i have seen a bulldozer .. or where is swimming barbie .. or have someone ask me to make some lemonade .. yes .. poor poor me .. i will drive the big truck any day .. anytime ..

yea .. they made it to party cove safe and sound .. the water is to cold to stop and go swimming .. now that they see me they are going to pull the boat into the slip ..

in they come ..

next you put it back on the lift .. and cover it back up .. done .. one boat delivered .. time to walk up the hill to the truck ..

a few things here .. yes .. i  know cash is in his pj's .. .again .. he really did have on clothes earlier in the day .. he had just got up from his nap .. and we jumped in the car to go get ellie from school and then into the truck to deliver the boat .. so really ... the poor kid did not have time to change .. not like he would have changed if he was given the choice .. and the life jacket .. yes .. it is purple .. and yes that is a big flower on the back .. it seems that his other one has "grown legs and walked away mom" .. that was his response when i asked him where it was .. it is not hanging on the back porch where it should have been .. it is not in the swimming box .. or his closet .. or on a rock or in the dock .. sam i am .. i will not eat green eggs and ham .. oh .. wrong story .. anyway .. can't find it .. don't know where it is .. maybe the big storm has blown it away .. forever .. so .. in the mean time .. he will wear a purple one with a flower on it .. and yes .. jeff does have issue with this .. cash not so much .. he kinda likes the purple .. jeff does not ..
