The boat’s finally back in the water!!! My good friend, Kenny, and I took a trip to Concord, NC on Saturday morning to pick up the boat. It’s all repaired (kudos to the Bass Pro Shop – the nearest Tahoe dealer - for EXCELLENT customer service!) and it turns out it was NOT the engine, but simply a starter and wiring harness – good news!!!
We tried to get in the water Saturday afternoon, but the weather had other plans. Determined to “try it out”, I took Kenny, Brian and Chris and our kids to the lake after church on Sunday. To be fair – it wasn’t ALL of the kids – but there were nine guys and Brian’s daughter, Hannah (the princess of the outing and the most daring of the daredevils on the tube!) We had a blast!!! We did “crazy guy stuff” all afternoon – swimming, jumping off of big rocks and riding on the tube… Kyle (who’s six) even took “two for the team”, getting stung twice by hornets! In true “trooper” spirit – he hung in there without complaining about it.
Kelly was gracious enough to feed us (and the rest of the crew – wives and kids) when we were done (have I mentioned that she’s an AWESOME cook?!?!?!) She didn’t even complain when I called at 5:30 to “ask” if she’d mind if I invited another four or five people to dinner!
So…. I’m done (I hope!) with boat stories, and on to other things that are going on. As a teaser, Will came home Saturday after a two-week stay with his Poppa Bill in Michigan. He’d been to a baseball game (several, actually) and brought five baseballs home with him…. Stay tuned for my take on his story and about being intentional.
