Sitting by the dock of the river....

Finally it's warming up and we are making summer plans! This weekend it's time to put the dock in and get the boat in the water! It will be so nice to have the boat right in the back yard and we won't have to pay launch fees all summer.

A lot of the wood was rotten so Ian had to dig down and add a face board to strengthen it to hold the dock. Next year we will be upgrading this whole area but for this summer we needed a quick fix.

Mark came over to give Ian a hand.

Now to get the dock in the water. We bought ours at Costco.

Then it was time to launch the boat and bring it home!

Ian relaxing with a book down on the dock

We are glad to have "MS BIAS" at home.

Why did we name our boat "Ms Bias"? The Ms stands for Meadow Spilchen my daughter, the BIAS is for Brooke, Ian, Aayla and Sierra.

And we are so happy to have her sitting in the water at our dock...now let the summer fun begin!

Hoping you all had a wonderful Mother's Day

After our recent family fishing trip we decided we wanted to get a boat. We searched all over craigslist. Ian wanted a fishing boat and I wanted something that would be comfortable for me and the kids. Ian has always liked Bayliner Trophy's and it was family friendly enough to please me too so we concentrated on searching for Trophys.

We were happy to find one in Pennsylvania which was only about a 9 hour drive for us each way. So we headed out on Friday and returned on Saturday with our new boat.

So on Sunday which was Mother's Day we headed out on the lake to have a beautiful day together on our new boat.

The girls of course had a blast! I can see we will have lots of fun this summer :)

Sierra loving piloting the boat

Aayla....."go fast"!!!!
