Drew's Birthday Surprise

So we had this idea about a boat.  And with the McCulloughs help - we found a winner.  They checked it out for us and brought it 'home'
Somehow it doubled in size - 
slight diversion to photo our sun worshiper
I spent the afternoon with Shane and Nick TRYING to get it to start.  We gave it some serious effort and received lots of tips and feedback.  Sadly, the motor never turned over.
So we parked it right in our spot and surprised him.  Check out the video footage link.

We did it!  Now if we could just get the engine to turn.
Meanwhile - it was a beautiful morning.  Kids were eager to get those fish.  First we tried the motor boat, but that scares the fish.
This set up seemed a bit more successful
Made for a beautiful walk watching them explore.
The state of affairs that evening back at home. Gotta say, Chris is impressive and got it up and running!!  
Monday night Hibachi as the final icing on the birthday cake. 

That is one full festive table!
Our server was from the Ukraine too - he learned English (still working on it) in 6 weeks.  that is the demonstration as the desire to survive!


Just in case anyone was still wondering - a few days later we go back in the boat and guess what -

 IT RUNS!!
