Took the boat out for a spin

The boat needed some engine work done, so we had Gavin Marine tune up the engine. We got it back last week and decided today would be a good day to take it out for a spin to see if it worked well. We plan to sell the boat and Dave wanted to confidently say to any prospective buyer that the engine was running smoothly. We invited the Hemmer family to join us in the boating adventure so tonight at 5:30 we met them at Island Park and put the boat in. The kids wore their life jackets and enjoyed every minute of the boat rides - they squealed with excitement as the boat roared to full speed and were impressed that they could reach their hands out and feel the spray of the water. They all exchanged seats about a hundred times sitting in different arrangements. After taking the boat out of the water, the kids all played at the park for a little while, and we ended the night by going out to eat together at Beck's on the northwest side of town near Fareway. It was a fun night. :)
