Pineview

Finally, we got the boat out in the water!  Mike would be giving me "a look" about now for waiting until the end of June to take the boat out. He says one of the hardest things of his mission is watching people in boats out on the water.  If that's the hardest thing, I think his mission is pretty cush:). In my defense, the first week of June was Girl's Camp, and the 3rd week in June was our family trip to California.  We have been having some non-stop fun!

We spent late afternoon/evening at Pineview.  It is one of our favorite lakes.  It's not necessarily the calmest water for skiing, but you can't beat the beautiful surroundings.  Meg skied, Quinn waked boarded, and Ben and Mitch tubed.  Even little Mase got a turn on the tube.  This time, I didn't sink him and his Dad. What a great afternoon on the lake.

We usually have some mechanical failure during our first time out on the lake for the season.  This time as we were pulling the boat out of the water with the hand winch on the trailer, the strap broke.  No problem….a nice boy scout knot solved the problem to get the boat home.  It was an easy fix for the mechanics at the trailer shop the next morning. The mechanics were full of jokes, " Do you know what kind of knot you tied? Hope-it-holds knot. Do you know what B O A T stands for,  Bring on another thousand." Oh my!
