Father's Day Weekend 2010

Kids came over Friday night with the boat while we were at Wal-Mart getting the oil changed on the FMF. Took Bud & Lil Bit with us. Walked them for 20 minutes that it took to get the SUV worked upon. Stopped at Sonic because Greg was starving for food; then we got Wendy's cheeseburgers for the dogs at home.

Saturday I cleaned house & did laundry while kids took in-laws on Lake Pend Oreille with the pontoon boat. It was very sunny and by the time they came home both of them were burnt! They left again to go into town for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. While M&K were gone, hubby and I watched Legion on pay-per-view.

It rained during the night. Bright white lightning & distant thunder. Sunday morning dawned dreary but we were determined to enjoy the day. All of us wore sweatshirts & took blankets. Also took Bud, Lil Bit & Bravo with us on the boat. Schipperkes/Schippker-mos are supposed to be barge-dogs with good sea legs. However we forgot to take food or beverages.

Stopped to get lattes on the way into Lake Pend Oreille. KRL-N and I both got White Angels - white coffee (lots of caffeine for the day!) vanilla, coconut. Yum.

Then unloaded boat into lake with all our stuff & dogs. Hubby took the pontoon out and we zoomed to Bayview for breakfast. Ran into a little problem midway to Bayview. I had bad tummy.

When we got to Bayview, had the best ever breakfast. Will have to remember to go back there. Walked dogs to little market to get beer & munchies. Resumed trip over to Lakeview where hubby thought there was a bar. But no bar no longer :(

After turning around in Idlewilde Bay, we took the boat out again & returned home. We were all wind burned. The sunshine had actually appeared once or twice during the ride. It was a very fun, relaxing Father's Day and we were very happy that the kids had rented the 20' pontoon boat.


M cleaned out the boat when he got home, K was not feeling well with her sunburn so she slept on the couch. I went upstairs to sleep as I was exhausted.

Kids left later & we watched a little tv & went to bed.
