Boat Trip

collage43
Sophia loves being on the boat......she is all about it! The faster the better. The more people to socialize with, the funnier she is. She could hang out on the boat all day. She just checks everyone and everything out and gives you the scoop. collage49
Emmie brought her best friend along and our friends brought their boat too. It's a cute snazzy little red speed boat. We keep telling them they need to name their boat "Happy Hooker" since Hooker is their last name. I think that would be hilarious. collage45
Our older boys brought their boat and many friends too. They love to party.....here Emmie has talked her brother James into blowing up a raft for her. Imagine that! lol There is this great sand bar on Torch Lake that everyone beaches at.....it's wild. Volleyball, dancing.....it's crazy. I get the biggest kick out of people watching. Some people should just not even attempt dancing! Eww....ugly....very ugly! ;) collage48
Just a few pictures of the guys and Miss Emmie coming back to the boat after playing some volleyball with the girls. Lower Right Picture: L to R... DJ (oldest son), David, Eric (Happy Hooker), James (middle son) and his girlfriend Jen. collage46
Mason pulled Sophia all over on his tube. She loved it. He was totally infatuated with her. collage44
And finally, the two older Princesses......these two are trouble! lol They love their Oreo's dipped in PB......two chocolate freaks....they crack me up. We had a great time on our trip. The weather was perfect, the boats went in and out of the water with no issues and everyone made it home safely. Can't wait until next year! ;)

What a perfect excursion!!!

Looks like loads of fun...all the boats, friends, and food!

Love Sophia's pink life jacket....too cute!

I think Happy Hooker is the perfect name for the boat.....whenever we go out on the water, I love looking at boat names and trying to figure them out!

Have a wonderful week!
