Then, we did something TOTALLY crazy while they were here...we rented a boat. Now, the reason why that was crazy was because the weather we less than favorable for taking a boat out. It was crazy windy which made the water crazy choppy & the sky was about to 'fall out' any second because a cold front was pushing through! Which also meant it was crazy cold. But, we had already paid for the boat for the day & thought 'What the heck? It will be an adventure."
This was Dawson's idea of fishing...just catch them out of the bait box! He just dove right in there...and everytime he stood up, water would just POUR out of his sleeves!

Andi helping Dada fish...the only thing we caught was a little seaweed!
And, here is a cool shot I got while on the water of the storm blowing in. The sunrays were streaking through the clouds & it looked like they were spotlights on the trees...it was a super cool sight. This was about when we realized we had pushed our luck to the limit & that is was time to head back before we got severly rained on. We raced back to the pier...we only got rained on the last minute before we docked & then immediately after we got off the boat it started hailing! We took cover in a storage shed down by the lake until Derek could bring the car around to come get us. Normally, these types of crazy situations, when the kiddos are with me, make me very stressed out. Not this time...I could not stop laughing! It was super hysterical to me for some reason...we were drenched & freezing & only got 2 hours worth of our daily boat rental...but I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure!

Isn't company grand when you're so far away from home? I'm glad that a lot of people have found their way up north to see you.
Happy winter snuggling!
