Back to the vacation times....

Well, I have been lucky enough again to have enjoyed so much vacation time this summer.  We also rent a different cabin on different lakes each summer as a family.  My wife, our two mini me's, my father in law and sister in law and her daughter.  usually by the end of it, we say next year we are doing it alone!  We never do.  It was an adventure as usual.  Four adults, city folks at that trying to hop on a boat and hit the water with but  a clue and a vague memory from previous years mishaps on how this all works.  We finally get it running after grinding gears I was not aware that boat motors have.  Finally, after all of that we get to the middle of the lake and decide to launch the tube and begin pulling the kids as they were very excited to get on with that.  I cannot even put into words well enough what this crazy part of the adventure amounted to.  After bad tying of the pull rope, almost having the young ones bump into the harmless motor, until grandpa decided to gun it.  Did I mention the motor quit and had some mechanical issues right away also?  All in all, the noise and chaos of scared kids and all of us freaking out with kids about ready to jump out of the raft and all of that I am sure entertained other boaters and residents very much.  We have but one adventure left for the years vacations.  It was going to be us returning to Las Vegas for our five year anniversary.  Yes, we got married on a drunken holiday-St. Patrick's day in Vegas.  it was perfect for us.  We flew our close family out to meet us, we drove and had an adventurous time and we all had a great time on that trip as well.  Well, duty calls in another department so to say, so toodles for now.
