Houseboating on Lake Billy Chinook!

Two years ago we bought a 4 day house boating trip with our good friends the McCarthy's and the Bells at the O'Hara Auction. It has taken us this long to find a weekend that all three families could go, but we finally did it! We had such a fun time with only a little sickness (Lucy had "the barfies" one night) All in all it was a great time with great friends.

Kevin and Amy McCarthy have two boys Brendan (9) and Colin (6)

Dan and Kelli Bell have two boys Griffith (9) and Sammy (6)

Me, Amy and Kelli

cracking open our first cocktail on the Houseboat!

The kids took some breaks from the sun to play games.

Brendan, Sammy, Max, Sam and Griff

We were so glad that we brought the boat, the kids had a blast going for rides on the "tube".





. . .another nightly card game!



Pancho and Amy . . . I'm scared of this picture :)



There was a slide off the back of the Houseboat.
The kids must have gone down it about 100 times or more.
The parents even tried it out a few times too!
I love this picture of Sam coming off the slide!



The kids did a lot of fishing too,
Unfortunately (or fortunately) no one actually caught anything




Isn't the Hot tub on top of the Houseboat beautiful?

It got a lot of use!

Pancho and Lulu having a heart to heart.

Lucy was the only girl with 6 boys!!!

Kelli and I took a spin too!

Max got all wrapped up in the floaties.

Pancho and Dan took turns taking the kids out for rides on the tube!

The scenery was gorgeous . . .I loved this waterfall.

The top of the boat had a BBQ, Hot tub and Bar!

. . . taking a break from swimming to watch some toons!
