After spending 2 hours cleaning, 1 hour loading, and another 2 hours preparing, we finally headed to Lake Rathburn for our first boating trip. The lake is very full (when it rains everyday, the rain must go somewhere,) therefore, only 3 boat ramps were open. We drove around another hour finding a ramp and a place to park. Is anyone adding the time up? Oh yes, when we got the boat to in the water, it smoked like a S.O.B. After 30 minutes and white smoke everywhere, BL got the boat running... Hip Hip HOORAY! So finally after almost 7 hours we were on the lake, soaking in the vitamin D. Halfpint loves tubing, Brett enjoyed the company of Grandma Suzy ON the boat. 
This is the water level... I wondered if we could make it under the bridge... we did, I wished I had some spray paint.

Looks like fun, maybe next trip you can cut it down to 5 or 6 hours to get in the water:)

Great Pictures Les!!! Well at least you have a mechanic. I remember a few trips all the way to Arkansas and the boat did not even produce white smoke let alone some skiing time. Tell Bri great job! Glad to see you all having some great summer family time. Take Care! Aunt Lisa
I am really glad your photo of Gr Suzy was from a distance! You didn't even tell them Gr Suzy made it into the tube with Briley for a round, even if you had to pull the tube in for me to get in! Great pictures of girls and thanks alot for a fun afternoon. Love MOM
