Years ago when The Hubs and I were dating, the kids bought him a boat for his birthday. His apartment was near a small lake and the kids thought it would be fun to come down to drive the boat in the lake with him. Needless to say, he moved shortly after we gave it to him so it's been sitting in the box for a while. Just recently, the kids discovered it and Red and Little Man wanted to use it.
The older two are at their Dad's this weekend, so Little Man begged and begged to take it to the "lake". So after dinner we took off to the pool to test drive the boat.
After Daddy showed them how to do it, it didn't take them long to figure it out.
The excitement on their faces was priceless. They loved driving the boat all around the pool. The hardest part for them was taking turns and staying away from the edge of the pool which made this Momma very nervous.
I am sure when Red gets home tomorrow, we will be making another trip to the pool for another test drive of this "fast" boat.
It's the small things in life that make the best memories.
