Houseboat 2006

I haven't gotton a chance to update in a while, but our annual summer houseboat trip has come and gone. It was a lot of fun and as relaxing as a vacation with three kids can get, I suppose! Plenty of swimming and boating during the day and drinking on the top deck of the boat at night after the kids go to bed (the relaxing part;)). We did have a couple of little glitches along the way this year. The first one was on the 4th of July when a HUGE storm hit. That was a little scary, but the boat was tied on really well so we did not end up in the middle of the lake during the storm (others were not so fortunate!). That night we recovered with some beer and a little fireworks show. Good times!

The second thing that happened was that one of our kids got stitches for the first time. Daddy and Will were playing in the water and Will ended up jumping out too far into the lake and hitting his chin on dad's forehead. He was a trooper though, and by the time we got to the ER, he was more interested in the fish tank in the waiting room and playing his nintendo ds than he was about what was going to happen to his cut. His parents however, were not quite as calm and collected;). He did great for the stitches and the nurse brought him ice cream afterwards so all was well.

A little more adventure than we had bargained for perhaps, but a good trip nonetheless!
