it's a boat time!
we have been storing Matt's brothers boat at our house for the last 3 or 4 years. his brother only takes it out maybe one or two times each year, then it is promptly return to our side driveway. so the other day Matt called him up and told him either find it a new home or give us the keys!! to both of our shock he gave us the keys!
so three days later we took it out! the whole family, even Missy! this gave her a chance to wear her new life vest.
Matt started out by driving. we went up the Snohomish river in case we had any trouble we could float down. (the boat had not been used for almost a year.)
i loved siting back and enjoying the ride, but i really couldn't wait to drive the boat!
we saw lots of old boats along the river.....
this one has been righted at some point.
we didn't even notice this was a barge and not just the shore until our way back!
i was really shocked at how many boats had been "let go". (there were lots more than just these few)
we also saw some great scenery!
it looked like the pilings were sprouting.
at the end of our two hour boat ride we even caught the sunset!
we had a great time and plan to do it again soon!
as you can see we had so much fun we tuckered out poor Missy! =)
