Summer is Offically over

The boat is back in the garage and summer is officially behind us. We took it out for one last weekend of fun with Amy and Matthew and some friends. We went to Lake Fayette County and had a blast. Amy made up a song about the lake and loving the big tube. I would sing it for you but can't remember the very complicated lyrics.

It was cold and overcast for part of the time there but as long as you stayed in the water you were good. On Saturday the sun came out and we played for hours.

One small problem with the boat...they always have at least one small problem...our battery is dying. We didn't know that it needed to be replaced until we got out on the lake. This lake is literally in the middle of nowhere. In the Mize system, Angela gets in the boat and Tommy backs it into the water. I get the boat off the trailer and drive it around to the pier to pick him up after he parks the truck. Our systems been working for years. Until this trip...

This trip, the boat wouldn't start either morning and Amy and I were in the boat looking pretty helpless. We had to bum a jump start on both mornings before going out. It seems fisherman have a sense of humor when two girls in a boat ask them for a "jump".

Roxie stayed with her Wistner Grandparents and had a fun filled weekend with all her cousins. Mom and Daddy very kindly agreed to take in all the dogs so we could go with Amy and Matt. It must have been exciting because Roxie slept the rest of the day after we picked her up on Sunday. I'm sure Mom and Daddy napped too after the bark parade left town!
