Sad little yellow boat

Sitting on the shore watching the little yellow boat. Don and Sean spent the night at the lake to watch the balloons launch in the morning. They didn't see any launches because it was too windy. Kyle and the boys spent the night in Eden so Don and Sean had dinner with Catherine's family. Mao Yu and I stayed home. We had an intern coming in from Taiwan and he got stuck in San Francisco for 24 hours so I couldn't pick him up until Friday night. I stayed at the lake until 6 pm and then came home to get to the airport. The flight was delayed again so we didn't get Nate (the intern) home until close to midnight. Khloe had an ice skating performance at 0850 so we went and watched her skate then went up the mountain.

Watching the boat, thinking life is good. Life is still good, but the boat not so much.

The last pull of the season...

The boat being pulled across the lake by another boat so we could take it out of the water. The kids were going out on the towable and the rope got pulled up in the engine. Saturday morning Don and Kyle pulled the engine apart and got the rope out but the boat still won't work. It was a bummer because we had Hoskins and Warehimes all ready to boat. We still had a fun family day but it seemed like a ton of work for minimal fun.

Khloe won third place in her competition. I'm always so proud of that girl

We tied the floats up and the kids played on them. The drag was without the boat we had to haul ALL that stuff we brought down to the lake up the hill.

Sean stepped on a bee and got his first bee sting.

Catherine's grandma Marian came. She made it up and down that steep hill like a trooper.

Hauling all our crap back up the hill.

Sitting around watching kids play in the lake.

Sarah and Caleb were having a blast.

Don got a call on Tuesday after the boat engine incident that our water heater was leaking and damaging the unit below us. It's been an eventful month at the boat house. Don got all the leaks fixed, hopefully it didn't do too much damage below. We will see. They haven't asked for our insurance information yet.
