Lake Time

About two weeks ago, one of my friends at the Y asked if I thought Aaron could come help him fix his surround sound that had been messed up while switching out TVs.  I told him I figured he wouldn't mind.  So, after talking it over with Aaron, I told Tom we'd come by on Sunday afternoon.  He then told me he'd take us out on his pontoon boat after Aaron finished, so be sure to bring the kids with us.  Tom has a house out on the lake and goes out on his pontoon boat EVERY SINGLE DAY that it is nice outside.  He's retired and says he has to pinch himself every day to be sure it is for real!  He has a beautiful view of the lake.  Just a great place to live.  So, as Aaron fixed the surround sound, the boys enjoyed eating ice cream (which I NEVER keep around the house) and Special K bars out on Tom's wrap-around porch looking at the lake and I listened to Tom's daughter sing on the TV.  She is an amazing singer.  In fact, she sang the National Anthem during a pro football game last year.  Sorry, can't remember which one.

But, on to the great pictures of our ride on the lake.

Very excited little buddy

Tom asked Connor who taught him to be such a good driver.  Tom told Connor he'd hire him to be his driver...

Oh, the life!




This is what happens to a little guy after a great day on the lake...


We had such a great time.  Thanks, Tom!  He's invited us to go back out again when the leaves start changing to see just how beautiful it is out there.  We can't wait!
