we just couldn't stand it ...

we just couldn't stand it any longer .. delivering back burris smith's boat gave jeff and the kids boat fever in the worst way .. so bad that we had to go home .. get johnny cash .. pack up a picnic dinner .. change into our suits .. and drive speedy quick to the shop .. goodbye truck .. see you before dark ..

we had just a few hiccups on our way out of duck creek .. i am getting our picnic put away .. the cooler tucked under the seat and towels spread out on the seats .. when i hear jeff yell .. oh dang it .. quick babe .. hand me the drain plug .. drain plug .. where is the drain plug .. do we have a drain plug .. in the mean time .. ellie says .. look daddy .. i see water .. babe .. babe .. the drain plug  .. honey .. i don't know where it is .. wow .. that's alot of water daddy .. found the plug .. quick .. hit the bilge switch .. that is alot of water .. it must have pumped for 20 minutes .. ok .. titanic disaster diverted ..

next up .. strange engine noise and smell .. ellie says ..  is that smoke daddy .. i mean really .. we are just past harbors view .. we have been in the boat for no more than 9 minutes .. well .. not to worry .. cash is on it .. in his purple flower life jacket no less ..

when the engine hatches are up on a boat and it is out on the lake .. that is not a good sign .. can i eat my cheetos now cash is saying .. can you turn up johnny cash mom .. i love this song .. i am thinking what .. do you all not see that we are in the middle of a mechanical situation here .. the engine hatches are up .. there is smoke coming from the back .. and you all want cheetos and johnny cash .. i am wondering if jeff brought his phone .. because i did not .. there is no one at harbors view .. the water is super cold .. well .. i say to myself .. i guess jeff can swim us back to the dock .. maybe noah is outside and he will see that we need help and come to our rescue .. oh .. problem fixed you say .. we are good to go .. we are not going to sink or catch on fire .. let the boating begin .. claps all around ..

look it is me .. taking a picture of myself .. can you say DORK !!!

oh daddy .. what happened to our speakers .. i sold them .. oh ok .. where should we eat dinner ..

so we went over to dripping springs and ate our picnic dinner .. turkey sandwhichs ..peanut butter no jelly for cash .. and lots and lots of cheetos ..

and orange pop .. poor cash .. it has been since his birthday party in november when he had an orange pop last .. he looks mesmerizied by it doesn't he .. like he has been longing for it all winter long and now he finally gets to have one ... he was overcome .. overcome with love for orange pop ..

sweet faces with orange pop all over them ..

sweet faces with orange tounges ..

oh daddy ... can we please please swim .. brrrr .. the water is cold cold cold .. oh daddy .. can i drive instead please .. i just ate dinner .. i better wait 30 minutes before i swim ...

the orange crush was all gone .. the sun was setting .. oh .. and we had school the next day .. we better go home .. we had all this fun .. and the sun was not even out .. so .. ballet girls .. if you reading this .. get out your calendars .. we need to find a date ...
