making house boating great again
Just back from 5 days aboard a 54 foot houseboat in Voyageurs National Park. While things on "Our Boat" mostly worked, it looked like a 1970's costume party, and had some post party GI issues that made us thankful for a breeze. Despite that, sunny weather and warm water more than made up for our smelly party guest.
If house boating were an Olympic sport, our team would be wearing gold!
Go World!
s.s.minnow
Thanks to an extremely generous brother-in-law, we have a really big fishing boat for a couple of weeks. The boat is something like 22 feet long, but under that big bridge and atop some unexpectedly large waves, we felt a bit like minnows on an inland sea.
Thanks Mark!
anything a canvas
SCUBA tanks were re-certified the other day... To Isabel the blue was an ocean in need of some fish.
circle of death
Captain Sam called it the circle of death... It's sort of like NASCAR, you make a bunch of left hand turns, someone crashes and everyone screams for more ;-)
~that's Grace and cousin Brooke screaming for more.
chester bowl
Caught the Brothers playing the Chest Bowl concert series tonight. Sun and 70° made for a perfect night in the park.
camp ready
Gymnastics camp beings on Sunday. Grace and cousin Maria are making it a second annual for the Hamline University camp.
move up meet
Grace worked hard to come back from a season on the sidelines due to a back injury. Tonight it paid off with some solid scores, and a nod from her coaches to move up to level 6.
Congratulation Grace!
