i love boats! i miss them so much! I was really sad when my parents decided to sell theirs a few years ago. The poor boat sat in the garage a full 2 summers while they rode on their new toy (a motorcycle). Tony and i have been looking at them in erie and conneaut this past summer, so hopefully we will have one next summer.
my best memories was getting my dad to pull 6 of us on tubes behind his boat. Nothing like going to war doing figure 8's, crashing into each other, landing on each other and going over huge wakes! loved every minute of if.
I remember pulling the air on my friends tube once, deflating her while we were riding (it was an old style tube), and one time my dad's friends (who unforunatly passed from cancer in 08) slide over to me, pulled up some slack on my rope and unhooked my tube from it. That was a new one. i was a sitting duck in the water while they took off.
then there was the time when i was tubing on my dad's friends boat (same guy who unkooked me) and he did a sharp turn and sent me into some plants growing on the shore line in kentucky
I want ayden to have those experiences. Camping & boating... it's so much of me and i want him to enjoy the same. (maybe not that rough though)
and I once kneeboarded from kiastha to onoville marina in new york! almost 30 miles! and i'll never forget the pain in my hands the next day from holding the rope!
so many memories! Just with a boat! Not so sad after you think about the fun you have on them
