One Week Down

Whew!!! We made it through our first week of K-4 and college!  To celebrate, we promised Thomas we would go riding in the boat at the lake at night.  He has been wanting to do that and we were going to take a riverboat dinner cruise, but that didn't work out, so we just had our own dinner cruise last night at the lake!  It was a lot of fun.  Dan-Dan and Pop were already at the lake when we got there.  Dan-Dan had gotten all the "fixens" for turkey and ham sandwiches.  We made them on the boat and set up the table and dined on the pontoon dinner boat cruise.  We just had only one mishap...the boat quit Ha!!  But, Steve got it cranked right back up and we were back on track!  Thomas got to pull in a couple of fish!  Tori didn't make the cruise with us...I believe "lame" was the term she used about our dinner cruise HA!!  Oh, well she had already made plans to go to the ballgame and she and Adam ended up hitting up two ballgames in one night.  She spent the night with Bon Jean and we spent the night at the lake.  We didn't go back out on the boat before we came home.  We wanted to get home early because Steve had some things he wanted to get done. 
                                 

This was right before we left for our "cruise".  Thomas caught a fish!  Actually, Pop already had the fish hooked on the line, but Thomas didn't know that and he said he caught the first fish of the night! HA!

I just had to get a picture of these birds in the trees on the lake.  There were hundreds of white birds roosting in the trees.

Thomas LOVES helping Pop drive the boat!  He really thinks he is driving! He also likes to ride in Dan-Dan's lap!

It's amazing to me how good food taste when you are having a picnic, or camping, or on a pontoon boat out in the middle of the lake....those were some really good ham and turkey sandwiches!

Another thing Thomas likes to do at the lake is play in Pop's storage building.  It was soooo hot this morning, but Pop went out there with him for a little while so he could play.

This is Pop's pineapple plant and it actually has a little pineapple growing in it!  It is really a pretty plant! This has been an extra long post.  I hope our next week of K-4 and college goes as well as the first week!
