family boat night ..

Since my dad just got back from his 9000 mile motorcycle trip to nova scotia .. newfoundland and prince edward island .. yes he rode his motorcycle the entire way .. we thought that it might be nice to load everyone up in the boat and enjoy an evening on the lake .. 

because who wouldn't want to laugh with granny ..

and snuggle with granny ..

and wake board while the sun is setting ..

or tube with grandpa .. 

WHAT ??

yes .. that's right .. tube with grandpa ..

yes .. jeff went fast .. and yes he did flip them off .. and yes .. grandpa got back on ..

so grandpa can:

1) ride 9000 miles on his motorcycle

2)  be flung around the lake on the tube

3)  and still get back into the boat 

so after .. laughing .. snuggling .. wake boarding and tubing we went to the landings for dinner ..

we talked about dad's motorcycle trip .. our trip to montreal .. the fact that school starts in 17 days and that none of us are ready for the ease of summer to be over .. to borrow a term from JT .. we like being "agendaless"

we boated home under the stars and the army helicopters on night maneuvers .. 

as all family boat nights are .. it was perfect and wonderful 

ellie .. nor cash for that matter .. will ever forget the night that grandpa went tubing .. 

nor will i ..
