NEW BOAT

We spent the last 2 Saturday's boating and having so much fun in the water. We found such a great deal on a boat at an auction. It's a 2006 Blue water Cascade. It's 20 feet long and has a 5.0 volvo engine. It's open bow, has a swim platform and tower, which we will eventually put a wakeboard rake on.

Connie and Larry were gone the weekend we got it so came up with us the second weekend to check out the boat. Craig was able to wake board because his dad drove the boat. (I still need practice). We had a nice picnic at Black Canyon Dam Park. Connie stayed on the shore and watched Ivan while we took Larry out for a spin. Ivan fell asleep, but the flies were bothering him, so Connie put the only thing she had(baby wipes) all over him to keep them away :) This is what he looked like when we returned.

Kaydence even got up on 2 skies. She got up last week but was scared to try again because when she fell, she says the skies scratch her legs. We convinced her to try again. No more leg scratching!!! I don't know if we will have to continue to nudge forever but once she is in the water she is consistently getting up, but doesn't stay up for long. We are very proud of her, and she looks forward to getting better.
