Sam and I have been accumulating a handful of motorized toys. Our most recent acquisition is a boat. Not a fancy boat. It is actually old enough that it still has a Chrystler outboard motor on it! It had sat parked for a few years before we got a hold of it, and after days of tweaking, Sam felt she was ready to test open water. We called up some of our closest friends to share the experience with us. They packed a pick nick dinner and we all headed out to Wardell reservoir to try our luck.
After having to jump start the boat twice... we finally got her out on the water. She did not have much power, but it was still fun. Especially for the little ones on board.

| Phoebe was so excited she could barely stand it! |
It wasn't too long after we did a few laps, the motor went silent and poor Jake and Sam got to row us back to shore.

Shortly after making it back to shore and setting up the grub.... rain clouds set in and a torrential down pour ensued and we all ended up drenched.
What an adventure!
Hopefully with a tune up, our little boat will be ready to try again.
