Happy Father's Day to the very special fathers in our lives... Tony, Grandpa and Pakka! This picture was taken after the kids gave Tony his gifts that they personally picked out. Quinn picked out a neck pillow because he often "feels" Tony's neck pain... literally. Quinn "catches" whatever ales other people. Madison picked a t-shirt for him that says, "I failed driver's ed"... which she thought was just hilarious. They also made him handmade cards and Madison gave him handmade coupons for things like... a free drink... free paper shredding service... and $5 off cleaning out his truck. She knew better than to do that one for free! Ha! 
After church we spent the day at Beppe & Pakka's house and then went boating in the late afternoon. It was still around 90 degrees. Jenna is here with us for the weekend... going to camp tomorrow. The kids went tubing for the first time. They all loved it and begged for more. They also begged to go swimming so we shut the boat off and let them swim off the side of the boat. 
Guess what...? The boat wouldn't start again. Yep, happened on Mother's Day and now Father's Day too. We tried off and on for about 45min before I asked Tony if he thought this was God's way of telling us that we really aren't (and shouldn't be) boat people? So yes, it was humiliating again to be towed by a pontoon boat. After a short tow the boat did start again... who 
knows what was wrong. This was our fist voyage after getting the boat out of the marina shop... who put the boat through all the tests and $225 later told us nothing really was wrong and the mechanic even offered to buy the boat from us!

Hmmmm.... SO, we made another boat memory... getting to be too many if you ask me!!
Once again... being towed to shore!
