Fun times with family
As fathers day is coming tomorrow I thought I would remind us all what life is really about. Family! I have had a very busy month and have not had a chance to share my Lake Powell story. In the last week I have sent my German exchange student back home, he was with us for 10 and a half months. Great kid, we will miss him a ton. I also sent my son off to Italy for the next 2 years. We went from a family of 5 to 3 in 6 days. As I have spent time reflecting on the last year or even the last 19 years, I am very glad I spent the time with my family that I have. A month ago we were at Lake Powell. 
We left on a Wednesday night and 8 hours later we arrived and Thursday was pretty windy, but for our first time out we fought the chop and made the best of it. That night I had to leave and return home for a mandatory work thing, 16 hours of driving for a 45 minute meeting. Anyways Friday the family went out and had a great day at the lake.
I got back down Friday night and had dinner with the family. Saturday the boys talked the girls into an early morning to get butter for our last day. Why the crap do I tell you this. Well without the background the next pictures would have made the whole day a bust.
For those of you that haven't changed your impellar, DO IT. I had not and had every intention of getting to it. Anyway at least I had one with me Thanks to Andrew. I spent 2 hours doing it at the dock, it's a 15 to 20 minute job if you know what you are doing. Well at least we had the time and got it done. The last day was glass all day and we played until we couldn't any more. The other great part about the story is at least when it completely went it was while we were headed out of the marina. The day before it could have been dissasterous as my wife and son would have had no clue. They could have siezed stuff or been stranded, anyway I think prayers are answered and my wife was seriously praying all would be okay as I was away. Enoungh of my long winded story. Back to the pictures.
This is the take off to my boys favorite trick, I have no clue what it is. Kind of a backroll tantrum thing, but the board gets way out behind him.
This is mid trick.
Here is the landing, well sort of. He did not land it this trip.
I know he really wanted it bad, but not in the cards this trip. I hope after 2 years he doesn't have to learn all over.
This last pic is of what happens when you have to much $$$$, check out the banner. I wish I had rich parents.
Now the short version, spend the time you can with your kids, they won't be around forever.
Sorry so long, but at least I posted pics.
Oh and to all the dads out there, Happy Fathers Day!
