Happy Fathers day to all here.
It was raining here, again, as ususal (in the news with all the damned flooding). BUT I DID NOT CARE!!! I said we were going regadless. No pictures, but we ended up having lots of fun. We pulled the kids and dogs in the intertube (until the bulldog jumped out... I will explaing in a second), swimming on the shore which is about 10 feet higher than usual and covered in a nasty black mud, and shored the dink and listened to a band playing (until we got rained out).
Might sound like a bad weekend to others... but it was great to me. I find I relax on the boat better than anywhere else!
As far as the bulldog: We can't find a lifejacket to fit her (yet) because she is so short and fat - but we took her with us. SHe did not like the kids being pulled, and kept standing on the side of the dink... until - SPASH! She went under, and for what seemed hours we could not see her. ALl of a sudden she came back up and was swimming around. We called her, but she did not want to swim to us... she was having fun??? THis is an English bulldog - not known for their swimming abilities. However, this mut can swim!!! SHE LOVES IT! Went to the shore and she kept swimming out to the kids. Crazziest thing I ever saw. THis dog even sticks here head under the water and starts rooting for things in the mud??? HAHA! Oh well, must be brain damaged. Probably too many scraps from the
grill, huh? (smile).

PS TB - How about we hook up Chase and your daughter? He is 7... a little young, and does not like girls unless they like throwing a baseball... but hey! He has not met her yet. Very pretty young lady. You should be proud. Nice family.
