It seems like everyone around us is having babies. While Andrew would absolutely love to have a baby brother (he has been asking repeatedly), another baby is just not in the cards for us. Instead of expanding our family with children, we have chosen the next best thing - we bought a pontoon boat!
Greg has been talking about buying a pontoon boat for several years, and this is the year he finally bit the bullet. A few months ago, a friend of mine from Pittsburgh posted pictures of her new boat on Facebook, which I promptly showed to Greg. That was all he needed to put the "bee in his bonnet," to quote my dad. He was a man with a mission, diligently searching until he found the perfect fit for us. Here she is:
Heaven help us, Andrew can't wait to get behind the wheel!
"Here's where we eat and drink, Dad!" Dad was too busy checking out the oil injected motor (or whatever you call it) to be worried about cup holders!
What's a boat without chairs for fishing?
Greg can't wait to get our new baby out on the water. I couldn't take better pictures because she's squished between two other boats right now, safe and sound, under cover from the weather. Soon enough, the weather will change and we'll be happily cruising along Lake Raystown, soaking up the sun, catching some fish, and splashing in the water. Of course, the beauty of a pontoon boat is that there's plenty of room for friends. We already know our neighbor Sharon will be a permanent passenger - we're going to have her pay her dues by listening to my many, many stories, "One time, when Greg and I were first dating, he had this really nice boat, and we took it to a little protected cove..." Oh wait, maybe I won't tell that story after all! But no worries, I'll have more to share, I'm sure! If you want to go for a ride, let me know! The more the merrier! We're more than happy to share our latest addition with family and friends. All aboard!
