We went boating with some friends last Friday and even though we ended up having boat problems we really did have a BLAST!!
We got there, unloaded the boat, and discovered that all of the life-jackets had been left at their house so while some of them went to get new life-jackets, the rest of us loaded up and went for a ride while we were waiting. The boys had a blast and loved to go REALLY REALLY FAST!! Gabriel even got to drive the boat which was a little scary for me at times because he really drove it...at FULL speed!
Liah wasn't exactly thrilled about having to wear a life-jacket but she seem to love riding.
When we went back to the boat ramp to get the new life-jackets we decided to jump in the water and swim 'til they got there...and that's when it happened. Luckily we were only about 200 yds out from the ramp but the boat motor died! Now depending on who you ask, me or Adam, the story from here out may vary...but my version is the CORRECT ONE!! I grabbed a rope tied to the front and jumped in the water. I proceeded to pull the boat to the ramp area ALL BY MYSELF with 5 people on board!! No Adam, you didn't help by pushing the boat from behind! HAHAHA---If I only had a picture of that to prove it!
The boys enjoyed swimming in the lake for a while and then as was tradition with the Halverson's and boating...we went to White Castle. We really did have a lot of fun and I got a work out as well which was a plus!

&Fourth, yes Adam does look like he said that and you pointing it out only made it the picture funnier-hehe and Liah does have a pretty darn cute smile! :)
Liah's smile is way cute. I love little kid smiles. Did you make Gabriel's cake. Lexie just saw it and asked me to make her a Kung Fu Panda cake. i am sure that will change by April though. You're boating pics. are great. I love Liah in her life vest.
