Father's Day Extravaganza

To celebrate Father's Day, we rented a pontoon with two other families from our church- The Joslins (Laura, Isaac and Mado) and the Thompsons (Chris, Sara, Luke, Ella and Kate). It was great weather.




On the way...


Eric had to get some Caribou, so I let the kids hang out by the steering wheel. Isaac (especially) loves this.


I was cracking up during this photo shoot. Look at Isaac's evil grin!
Mado is sitting next to Cal, but refused to cooperate for the camera and instead was making a surly face. So, I zoomed in on Cal.
Later. That's me next to her, so maybe she just won't cooperate for me. Sigh.

We took the boat to an island and had it to ourselves almost the whole day where we grilled, played with bubbles, the frisbee, and water toys and layed around on blankets. It was great.
Here Eric is- racing Luke (Isaac is trying to play, too).

The next three are the Thompson kids:

Luke.


Isaac climbed up on a cooler to get the full affect of the wind.
Another great pose by Calvin.
Proof that I was, in fact, there.
Isaac and Kate getting into all the snacks.
Ike helping Eric grill the chicken brats and hot dogs.



Chris trying to convince Kate to jump in the icy icy water. Eric claims that it's colder than Lake Michigan (at W.H. beach).
Isaac and Ella.
Chris being a strong man and jumping in the icy icy water. Cal jumped in after him and started freaking out. By the end, all the men jumped in, the kids were set in (except for Luke- who's family convinced him to jump) and the women sissied out.Laura and Isaac
I know this is sort of inappropriate, but it's still funny.
