Maiden Voyage






today, i finally took a break from work and took the family on the Maiden voyage of our new boat. we sold our other boat, and bought this new / better more powerful one. it is soo much fun, and can pull me up skiing in one second flat!! so any body that wants to get up for their first time or what not, will have no problem with this thing! it has a very roomy cuddy that can sleep 4 people and seats that become a queen size bed in the stern of the boat. it was made for water camping! we cannot wait to take some willing people to Powell or where ever and just utilize this thing. we went to Willard Bay, and i am not sure why i have never appreciated this place before, it was very picturesque, the water was phenomenal (though cold). great beaches with covered pavilians everywhere and restrooms and lots of gnats....we had a great time watching Caleb, kneeboard all over the lake, and even cross the wake! and just taking a much needed break from our 'real lives'...

I thought that was something you could only do once you've grown up.... wait a second.. does that mean... Josh... YOUVE GROWN UP!!! Oh Annie is gonna freak out! I am definitely going to hear about this. Sign me up for Powell in September. Looks like you'll be playing the part of Neumann in this extension of the Callister family.... I guess that makes me....
