one saturday morning a couple of weeks ago, gary woke up early and decided to go fishing. wes was watching cartoons on t.v. and i encouraged him to let him tag along because i wanted to clean out our 'junk room' and i'd rather not have wes glued to the t.v. all morning. he was a little leery because wes is not the kind of kid to sit still for very long. he wasn't sure if he'd be interested in fishing because of the down time. but, he took him anyway. they ended up having a great time and were gone until late afternoon. because of the success of the trip, gary decided that we had to have a john boat. so, off to craigslist he went...
a couple of days later, this little gal was ours. she may not be the prettiest thing in the lake, but i'm sure she'll hold a special place in wes' childhood memories.
gary has spent his free time the past couple of weeks getting the motor running. the next step is giving her a fresh coat of paint, which i'm sure will help her looks a bit. we hope to take her out this weekend to see if there are any leaks. hopefully not, so we can spend next weekend out on the water!
