Catching Up

I have gotten a bit behind with my blogging. We picked up our boat on Friday and spent the next several days enjoying some beautiful fall weather on the local lakes. Our first trip out on Friday could have been great material for a "Funny Home Video" if we had recorded it. Getting a boat off a trailer into the lake and then back on again, well lets just say we weren't sure what we were doing and it took a while! But we didn't sink it or lose it so, as Martha would say "its a good thing". We did much better on Saturday, and on Sunday, Meghan and crew joined us. As you can see, Sarah did NOT like her life preserver and was not a happy boater:
Katie, on the other hand loved it. Could there be a better way to spend a sunny fall Sunday afternoon than in the bow of Pap-Pap's boat? This picture says it all....

Weekend Day Trip

Last Saturday we took a day trip up to Lake Tionesta. Had a lovely drive through Cooks Forest and an ice cream stop on the way. The lake was really nice, but not what we were looking for. R wanted to fish and it is a great lake for boaters but to fish from the shore would have involved a hike down a pretty steep trail. We did find a nice community park in Tionesta that was on the Allegheny River. We had a picnic lunch there. All in all, a really nice day. Life is good!
