In my last post I mentioned going to Lake McClure and staying on a houseboat. If there is any vacation to be had, of course, it has to be where a lake is nearby so we (the guys) can play (wakeboard) to our hearts content. We went the first week of October 2006. Another family was supposed to go with us, but they backed out at the last minute. Unfortunately for them, they didn't get their money back. So we enjoyed a less crowded houseboat without the extra cost.The weather was not extremely hot or cold. It did get chilly at times and the water was kind of cold, but that didn't stop us from going down the slide and playing. The kids didn't play in the water as much as we thought they would. Never the less, it was fun!!!
We tried some doubles and triples while wakeboarding. Maryn wasn't exactly thrilled that she was forced to do it, but it was cool to watch. Dan and Justin enjoyed some gorgeous water. They found a cove with water like glass. The lake wasn't busy at all so the water was awesome the entire week we were there. On more than one occassion Justin and Dan walked in looking exhausted. However, after a dip in the hot tub and getting a bite to eat they were back out again whether they wanted to or not.
Our kids loved it even though they had to do an hour of homework each morning. We've decided houseboating is just awesome and we'd love to do it again. So, if there are any of you who want to go and then back out at the last minute so we don't have to pay more, just let me know!! LOL!
