Boat

 
This is our UGLY boat. We bought it for $100.  We put a little into it, to get it running, but it runs and floats (yay!). Jeremy and Sam took it out for the first time last night. We are still debating on the name of the boat.  The boys think "Green Lantern", I like "3 Hour Tour", and "Kermit". The reason for all the crazy names is that EVERYTHING is green inside!!! EVERYTHING!! We hope to spruce it up this winter, when we have more time. But we are just letting the ugly boat go this summer!
We had a boat before this one. A BAD experience! When we lived in Grand Haven, on Easter Sunday, we brought it to the Grand River for the first time. We stalled out in the middle of the river, couldn't get it started, and had to paddle upstream to get home. It took forever and was so hard! Some of us cursed, cried, were so tired after 2 hours of paddling and almost peed their pants! You are probably thinking that it might have been one of the kids... Nope it was me (Jess). ( sorry Jeremy) So I am  thrilled that this one runs good, and we put it in the lake, NOT A RIVER!!!!!! Cuz trust me, 6 people in a boat paddling upstream for 2 hours is NOT fun!!!!!!
