But the next day when we launch the boat and the kids and I are waiting for Scott to come down the ramp, Maddie comments on the exhaust smell. So I open up the back and smoke is pouring out and there is water in the boat! Ryder is crying wanting to know if we are going to drown, we are trying to call Scott on the cell phone and then the boat stops running! Just stalls out and here we are out in the water. A nice ski boat filled with little team hottie pull us in, thank goodness. We load it back up and there was the boating experience. Not to mention the truck breaking down I think two more times it was actually a fun trip. We made it home alive so that's a good deal. :)

The Lake Powell trip ... that didn't go well
Oh our one trip to Lake Powell this year! We thought we'd get an early start on it. Remember we are motorhomeless now so we took the truck and boat and headed down. Something about Fillmore, it's like our Bermuda triangle.. the truck broke down. A nice Highway patrol guy kept trying to help us but it was a hose. He even called ahead into Fillmore to his buddy at the the Ford dealership, what a nice guy! Anyway, luckily Scott is a wizarding mechanic and jimmirigged it so we made it down to Lake Powell. Yeah hooo..
