My birthday present

So this year I turned the big 3-0! Dreadful I know. I kept harping on my dad that I wanted to take a pontoon trip with the whole family for my birthday. Mostly because I would love it if my dad bought one so we could all go out together on a boat. That and I can only drop so many hints to my brother-in-law to take us out on theirs. J/K Douglas :) Our skiing boat just doesn't fit us all anymore. I love our boat hon - it's just more for sport, serious skiing that is :)

Well, thanks to Barry and Joyce I got my wish! And what a day it was!

Colt is such a little swimmer! Loves to jump in the water - what a brave boy!

And these two on-the-go boys did GREAT in the boat!

Thanks again mom and dad for setting this up and to B&J for getting the pontoon for us! I felt so blessed to be able to spend time with my family. So often I take it for granted that we all live close enough to be together often. I love that our kids get to spend time with their grandparents and that we can make memories that will last a lifetime! Love you all!
