Autumn Day at the Lake

We bought a boat! Jimmy has been wanting one for a very long time and now he finally has one. We have not been able to spend much time on it because of the drastic change in the weather, but, we were lucky enough to have one nice day to take it out before we put it away for winter. It was a fun day with my husband and my doggy.

A view from the boat exhibiting the beautiful autumn colors.

Harley did not want to get out of the boat once we docked.

Jimmy excited about his new toy.

Here she is. Jimmy has named her TOY II.
He is already talking about fishing trips in spring with me and my dad. He is really looking forward to spending lots of time on the water next year.

Neat! I love boats and Dale is very sad that he no longer has his. I know you guys will love it.

You have no idea how sad I am that I no longer have mine, though, if I did, I would not have a place to use it out here. I really miss barefooting and floating about.

BTW, the very best thing I ever found for cleaning the hull, aside from thoroughly drying the boat when removed from the water, is softscrub. That stuff is amazing.
