New Boat!!!

One of the main reasons we moved to Spokane was to be near so many beautiful lakes and rivers. We decided after driving back from Minnesota that by next spring we wanted to have a boat. My dad happened to be driving back from WI and we decided to go ahead and buy his boat (that he never wanted to part with – with anyone besides family). My parents showed up this past weekend with the boat and we hooked it up and spent 2 days on different lakes/rivers.

Our first trip was to Lune Lake where some friends have a cabin. It was fun to get out on a little lake and cruise around, but we instantly saw that we are totally river/large lake people since we like the freedom of exploring.

Sunday after church – we headed 35-40 minutes East and put in near Black Rock on Coeur d’Alene Lake. It was so easy and close and just UNBELIEVEABLE!

ok – I would DIE to spend 1 weekend in that house!

Cruising across the lake to find some streams to explore.

there was some haze from the fires raging around WA. So sad!

we cruised down this river and then there would be these small little streams that broke off and went to other lakes.

we followed this one and went to Blue lake I think it was called.

when we got in the lake it was perfect! we could anchor and swim and cruise around.

on the way back to CDA lake the river was just perfect for waterskiing. So G Pops went first.

not bad dad!

just GLASS!!!!

can’t remember if he pulled this one out or not – but it sure is great!

Bill went and he rocked it.

My turn!

I end with nice little turns because no one who has any brains really wants to fly across the wake at 50 MPH!

so thankful to my dad for keeping his boat in like new shape and for Bill’s career that is allowing us to live in a beautiful place and make fun memories with the kids doing things we love!
